Corporate fish and chip catering in Sholden
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Sholden
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch for site crews and retirement send-offs.
Near Sholden, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Sholden
Is Sholden too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Betteshanger Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you come to Sholden?

What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
