Corporate fish and chip catering in Rainham
Corporate fish and chip catering in Rainham, cooked to order
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving lunches and lunch for site crews.
Workplaces in Rainham range from offices to industrial units. A chip van feeds the team on site without anyone leaving. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- Service time
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
