Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Kingston by Sea

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Whether it’s lunch for site crews and friday lunch treats, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.

Work events near Kingston by Sea might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Kingston by Sea

Can the van park in Benfield Hill?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.

Is Kingston by Sea close to London?

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.

Can you come onto our site?

That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.

What can staff choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

What if we only have street parking?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Do you do anything other than fish?

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

How the day works

On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Kingston by Sea is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Let us know the serving time
  • Clear the route for the van

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Let us know about coeliac disease

We can serve each shift in turn.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What you get with us

  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • No surprises in your quote
