About our corporate fish and chip catering in Kilndown

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. After-work summer events in Kilndown have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your staff
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips

What affects the price in Kilndown
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask facilities about access
- Collect allergies in advance
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac staff
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Kilndown
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Kilndown?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards typically work well.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
