Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Lower Hartlip
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. We’re frequently asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and open days, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Lower Hartlip can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot near your staff
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
- Consider a pre-order list
- Share the shift pattern
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Lower Hartlip?

Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lower Hartlip.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
