Corporate fish and chip catering for Rochester events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Rochester, fried fresh
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We’re often asked to cater retirement send-offs and charity and fundraising days at work, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For businesses in Rochester, a Friday lunch in the car park is an easy win, if the site agrees. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For an end-of-day event in Rochester, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Rochester?
Hot food in the car park, rain or shine, because the cooking is inside the van.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re frequently booked for:
- Retirement and leaving lunches
- Warehouse, depot and site teams
- Project milestones
- Charity and fundraising days at work
For colleagues arriving by train, Rochester has its own station, Rochester station.
What to look for in a quote
- The deposit and payment dates
- When final numbers are due
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- A clear list of what’s included
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Give us break and shift times
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Rochester: your questions answered
How far is Rochester from London?
About 27 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Rochester?
Rochester has its own station: Rochester station.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you cover Rochester?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Rochester and across Medway. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
