Corporate fish and chip catering in Lympne, cooked to order
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include fish Friday treats and retirement send-offs, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around Lympne can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Lunchtime staff treats in Lympne are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
