Corporate fish and chip catering in Patching
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. After-work summer events in Patching have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Have a back-up for special diets
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Questions from Patching
What’s the nearest station to Patching?
Goring-By-Sea station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van park in Clapham Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
