A chip van near Sandwich
Corporate fish and chip catering in Sandwich, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for team away days and celebrating a big win.
Around Sandwich, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Sandwich
Can the van park in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Is Sandwich close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Sandwich
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. A lunch-break van visit in Sandwich is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
