Corporate fish and chip catering in Northiam
Corporate fish and chip catering in Northiam, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include leaving dos and friday lunch treats, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Northiam, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Common questions in Northiam
Is Northiam too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
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.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Put allergy details in writing
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For a staff lunch in Northiam, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What affects the price in Northiam
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Northiam, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
