Corporate fish and chip catering for Ottinge events
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Ottinge
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it is charity days and fish Friday treats, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Ottinge, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. 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
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Ottinge for staff days and team lunches
Ottinge is about 5 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. People in Ottinge book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Ottinge is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Ottinge to Canterbury (10 miles away).
For staff and visitors coming by train, Sandling station is about 3.7 miles away. Historic houses near Ottinge include Acrise Place (1.6 miles east) and Westenhanger Castle (4.2 miles south-west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 2 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.

If your venue is just outside Ottinge, we also cover Lyminge (1 mile south-west), Rhodes Minnis (1 mile west), Woodland (1 mile west), Skeete (2 miles south-west) and Hemsted (2 miles west).

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
