Corporate fish and chip catering in Pegwell, fried fresh
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for retirement and leaving lunches and fish Friday treats.
At country workplaces around Pegwell, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask staff to pre-order
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. After-work summer events in Pegwell have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
