A chip van near Petteridge
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Petteridge
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. For team away days and lunch for site crews, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A quote that spells everything out
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cover Petteridge and the whole of Kent
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For a staff lunch in Petteridge, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Petteridge: your questions answered
Can the van park in Brenchley Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Petteridge close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
