Planning a team lunch in Palm Bay
Palm Bay is about 1 mile north-east of Margate, in Kent. From the centre of Palm Bay to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Palm Bay is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Palm Bay to Canterbury (about 16 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Margate station is about 1.8 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (4.3 miles south-west). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
This part of Kent takes in CT9, so your staff event can be anywhere in it. Whether your staff event is on Omer Avenue, Fifth Avenue and Simon Avenue or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Neighbouring places where we serve staff events include Cliftonville (1 mile south-west), Northdown (1 mile south-east), Kingsgate (1 mile south-east), St Peter's (2 miles south) and Broadstairs (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Ramsgate (4 miles south), Deal (12 miles south), Herne Bay (12 miles west), Walmer (13 miles south), St Lawrence (4 miles south) and Newington (3 miles south).
Nearby you will also find Margate West (2.8 miles west) and Public Library & Museum (Camborne) (1.1 miles west).
- Local schools include Hartsdown Academy (2.1 miles south-west)
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Palm Bay
How far is Palm Bay from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Palm Bay too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Send allergies to us in writing
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Palm Bay?

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For an end-of-day event in Palm Bay, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
