Corporate fish and chip catering in Meopham, fried fresh
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for a monthly Fish Friday and thank-you lunches for the team.
Teams near Meopham frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Ask facilities about access
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

Take a look at our pricing or what a fish and chip van costs.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Meopham, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

What the van needs

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.
- 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
