A chip van near Kenardington
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Kenardington
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We are often asked to cater summer team days and retirement and leaving lunches, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Kenardington, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Kenardington
What’s the nearest station to Kenardington?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is Kenardington close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Lunchtime staff treats in Kenardington are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
