Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Kings Hill
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will go through what your site needs from us. For open days and customer events and shift teams at depots and warehouses, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Around Kings Hill, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Share the shift pattern
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Have a back-up for special diets
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. After-work summer events in Kings Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.

- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are generally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. 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.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before booking
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
