How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Rusthall
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and fish Friday treats.
Around Rusthall, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. Lunchtime bookings in Rusthall are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Share the shift pattern
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Have a back-up for special diets
After the last group, we pack up.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Common questions in Rusthall
Is Rusthall close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where will the van go on our site?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
For event organisers in Rusthall
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
