Fresh fish and chips in Knockholt
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Knockholt
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We’re frequently asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and summer team days, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Knockholt, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
