Corporate fish and chip catering in Orpington, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include project milestones and friday lunch treats, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In Orpington, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name

How it works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer events after work in Orpington have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
