A chip van near Kingsdown
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Kingsdown
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for retirement send-offs and staff appreciation days.
For businesses around Kingsdown, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask facilities about access
- Consider a pre-order list
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Send allergies to us in writing
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Questions from Kingsdown
How far is Kingsdown from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Kingsdown?
Walmer station, about 1.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Food your guests will love

Takeaway run or book a 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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
