A chip van near Martin
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Martin
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. Typical bookings include team away days and a monthly Fish Friday, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
At country workplaces around Martin, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Bookings across Kent, including Martin
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
For shift teams, we serve in waves.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Martin
Is Martin too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Martin?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
