A chip van near Mountain Street
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Mountain Street
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch for site crews and leaving dos.
Rural businesses around Mountain Street can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Common questions in Mountain Street
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’ll follow the site rules.
Can the van park in Broadham Down?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards normally work well.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Share the shift pattern
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
