How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Mereworth

Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. Typical bookings include celebrating a big win and staff thank-you lunches, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.

Rural businesses around Mereworth can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

A closer look at the menu

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Diets, allergies and planning

Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Collect allergies in advance

We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

A chip van compared with other options

Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

Why us?

  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Something for staff to gather round
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • All the chip-shop extras

Take a look at our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

Should I sort the food myself?

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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

How to compare vans

How it works

When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Mereworth, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
