Corporate fish and chip catering in Northfleet, fried fresh
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Typical bookings include summer team days and retirement and leaving lunches, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In Northfleet, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. A chip van feeds the team on site. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Northfleet are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
