Book the van in River
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Corporate fish and chip catering in River, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. For lunch for site crews and project milestones, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Work events near River might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A chip van suits all of them. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
River: your questions answered
Can the van park in Old Park Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve near the sea around River?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in River?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Where will the van go on our site?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.

What else we do in River
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The cost per head generally 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 book our van in River
- Something for staff to gather round
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cover River and the whole of Kent
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
