Corporate fish and chip catering in Kingsdown, cooked to order
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. For thank-you lunches for the team and summer team days, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Kingsdown can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Kingsdown
Is Kingsdown close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Lunchtime staff treats in Kingsdown are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
