Corporate fish and chip catering in Leigh Green, cooked to order
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Typical bookings include team away days and customer days, with cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Leigh Green
Can the van park in Turners Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Leigh Green?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 5 miles away.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Something for staff to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
