How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Kingston
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Whether it’s summer team days and lunch for site crews, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Around Kingston, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
How it 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 to suit your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Kingston are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Give us break and shift times
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Kingston: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Kingston?
The closest is Fratton station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you come onto our site?
Usually, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can the van come to Kingston?
Yes, we do. Kingston is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
