Corporate fish and chip catering for Lashenden events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Lashenden, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For lunch for site crews and open days, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Lashenden, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Questions to ask before booking
- Any minimum charge
- A clear list of what’s included
- What happens if plans change
- The service time, and the cost of running over
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. A lunch-break van visit in Lashenden is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- Events in Lashenden and across Kent
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Put allergy details in writing
- Consider a pre-order list
- Share the shift pattern
Put bins near the hatch.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Questions from Lashenden
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Lashenden too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Lashenden?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Lashenden and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
