About our corporate fish and chip catering in Knockholt Pound
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. For shift teams at depots and warehouses and staff appreciation days, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Knockholt Pound can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Classic food your staff already know
- No surprises in your quote
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Common questions in Knockholt Pound
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Polhill Bank?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Put allergy details in writing
- Share the shift pattern
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
We can serve each shift in turn.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Lunchtime staff treats in Knockholt Pound are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
