Corporate fish and chip catering in Sibertswold, cooked to order
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. We are frequently asked to cater summer staff parties and fish Friday treats, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around Sibertswold can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Planning a team lunch in Sibertswold
Sibertswold is about 4 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. People in Sibertswold book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We serve all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Sibertswold to Canterbury (about 9 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Shepherds Well station serves Sibertswold directly. Sibertswold is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
We take the van to staff events all over CT15. We can serve a staff event on streets such as Station Road, Hill Avenue and Eythorne Road, wherever the van can park. Nearby, we also serve staff events in Halfway Street (1 mile south-west), Coldred (1 mile south-east), Waldershare (1 mile east), Eythorne (2 miles north-east) and Lydden (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (9 miles north-west), Margate (15 miles north-east), Dover (4 miles south-east), Folkestone (8 miles south), Ramsgate (13 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (15 miles north-east).

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a staff lunch in Sibertswold, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Questions from Sibertswold
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Sibertswold 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.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
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 serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.

- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
