Corporate fish and chip catering in Kimpton, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. For retirement and leaving lunches and staff appreciation days, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
For farms and rural sites near Kimpton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Kimpton, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share the shift pattern
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Consider a pre-order list
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

What affects the price in Kimpton
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the parking spot

- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Kimpton
Is Kimpton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Kimpton from London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Typically, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
