How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Mersham
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater celebrating a big win and warehouse, depot and site teams.
At country workplaces around Mersham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Mersham, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat

Mersham: your questions answered
Is Mersham close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Mersham?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
