A chip van near Keston

For planners, venues and organisers

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Keston

Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Whether it’s retirement and leaving lunches and customer days, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.

For offices in and around Keston, the van typically parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The process

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your staff event in Keston. After-work summer events in Keston have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Name one person we can call on the day

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Have a back-up for special diets

We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Keston

Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Could you trade in South Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Can you serve each shift?

Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.

What does it cost to hire the van?

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.

Can the van come to Keston?

We do. Keston is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

What does the van need?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.

What happens if it rains?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Can the van come to our open day?

Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Space, access and the venue

We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:

  • A spot near your staff
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

Keston is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Food your guests will love

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
