How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Moorstock
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. For charity and fundraising days at work and staff appreciation days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
Near Moorstock, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
How it works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Moorstock, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Contact us 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
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask facilities about access
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Share the shift pattern

Moorstock: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Moorstock close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you have documents for our site?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Moorstock?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
