A chip van near Lower Halstow
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Lower Halstow
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. Typical bookings include open days and customer events and leaving dos, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Lower Halstow can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your staff event. In Lower Halstow, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask facilities about access
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
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.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Lower Halstow questions
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Lower Halstow?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
