Corporate fish and chip catering in Lullingstone, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for leaving dos and summer team days.
For farms and rural sites near Lullingstone, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a staff lunch in Lullingstone, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
