For farms and rural sites near Linton, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your staff event. A lunch-break van visit in Linton is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare

Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Linton?
It gets people out of their usual groups and talking.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:

- Open days
- Retirement send-offs
- Charity and fundraising days at work

Before you book anyone
- When final numbers are due
- What happens if plans change
- When payment is due
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask facilities about access
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Linton: your questions answered
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 follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Linton?
East Farleigh station, about 2.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
