FAQs for Lower Higham
Which station is closest to Lower Higham?
Lower Higham has its own station: Higham station.
How far is Lower Higham from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
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.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Lower Higham?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Higham, fried fresh
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. For fish Friday treats and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near Lower Higham, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. A lunch-break van visit in Lower Higham is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Make sure the van can get in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Higham?
