Corporate fish and chip catering in Kingsgate, cooked to order
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We are frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and lunch for site crews, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Kingsgate can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Common questions in Kingsgate
Which station is closest to Kingsgate?
Broadstairs station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you come to Kingsgate?
Yes, we do. Kingsgate is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Summer events after work in Kingsgate have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:45pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us break and shift times
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips

Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
