About our corporate fish and chip catering in New Street
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We are often asked to cater lunch for site crews and staff thank-you lunches, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around New Street can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

Common questions in New Street
What’s the nearest station to New Street?
The closest is Meopham station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A spot near your staff
- A route in without tight gates or low branches

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Something for staff to gather round
- A clear quote before booking
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Service time
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime staff treats in New Street are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and 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.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Getting a price
