Fresh fish and chips in Kingston
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Kingston
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. For retirement and leaving lunches and a monthly Fish Friday, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Kingston can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. A lunch-break van visit in Kingston is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Kingston: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Jumping Downs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
