A chip van near Lee
Corporate fish and chip catering in Lee, cooked to order
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for shift teams at depots and warehouses and staff thank-you lunches.
For farms and rural sites near Lee, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Common questions in Lee
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Lee?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lee.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Have a back-up for special diets

We can serve each shift in turn.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
