Corporate fish and chip catering in Rodmersham, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Typical bookings include warehouse, depot and site teams and charity days, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Rodmersham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Common questions in Rodmersham
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Rodmersham.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Rodmersham?

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send round an allergy question
- Consider a pre-order list
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Find out what documents the site needs
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a staff lunch in Rodmersham, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
