Planning an event in Neatham?
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Neatham
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Typical bookings include open days and warehouse, depot and site teams, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around Neatham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Neatham: your questions answered
How far is Neatham from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Neatham?
Alton station, about 1.3 miles south-west of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
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.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
