Corporate fish and chip catering for Pratt's Bottom events

Corporate fish and chip catering in Pratt's Bottom, cooked to order

Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Whether it is lunch for site crews and customer days, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

In Pratt's Bottom, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • The minimum booking
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • The day of the week

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Your date and serving time
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • A picture of the space and the way in

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

FAQs for Pratt's Bottom

What’s the nearest station to Pratt's Bottom?

The closest is Knockholt station, roughly 0.8 miles away.

Can the van park in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.

Can you invoice the company?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.

What if we only have street parking?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

Corporate buffets are typically cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What you get with us

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • No surprises in your quote
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Something for staff to gather round

See our pricing and the cost guide.

Planning the van’s spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue

Pratt's Bottom is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Takeaway run or book a van?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Step by step

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a staff lunch in Pratt's Bottom, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Let us know the serving time
