A chip van near Petham
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Petham
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for staff appreciation days and retirement and leaving lunches.
At country workplaces around Petham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events

Other occasions in Petham
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a staff lunch in Petham, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- 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.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Petham
How far is Petham from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Petham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
