Corporate fish and chip catering in Paddock
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Paddock
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For workplace fundraising days and a monthly Fish Friday, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
At country workplaces around Paddock, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Paddock
What’s the nearest station to Paddock?
The closest is Charing station, roughly 3 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Where will the van go on our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
After the last group, we pack up.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.

A chip van compared with other options
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Something for staff to gather round
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Events in Paddock and across Kent
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Where the van can park in Paddock
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
