Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Lordswood
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. Typical bookings include leaving dos and warehouse, depot and site teams, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Work events near Lordswood might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lordswood?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Lordswood questions
What’s the nearest station to Lordswood?
Chatham station, about 3.2 miles north of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van come to Lordswood?
We do. We serve events in Lordswood and across Medway. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. A lunch-break van visit in Lordswood is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
