How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Shover's Green
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include charity and fundraising days at work and open days, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Shover's Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

- Rain does not stop the fryers

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
Working with your venue
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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.

Common questions in Shover's Green
Could you trade in Wadhurst Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Shover's Green 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 you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
