Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Knatts Valley
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Whether it is friday lunch treats and retirement send-offs, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Knatts Valley, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
FAQs for Knatts Valley
What’s the nearest station to Knatts Valley?
The closest is Kemsing station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Is Knatts Valley close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the shift pattern
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
How the day works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A lunch-break van visit in Knatts Valley is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
