About our corporate fish and chip catering in Rainham
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for team away days and celebrating a big win.
In Rainham, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

- Give us your final numbers and allergies
