Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in New Hythe
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch for site crews and leaving dos.
Near New Hythe, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
New Hythe questions
Is New Hythe close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Can the van come to New Hythe?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including New Hythe and the rest of Kent. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer events after work in New Hythe have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
