Corporate fish and chip catering for Potter's Forstal events
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Potter's Forstal
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Typical bookings include customer days and team away days, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Potter's Forstal, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Takeaway run or book a 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. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Potter's Forstal
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Potter's Forstal?
The closest is Pluckley station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
