How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Sissinghurst
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and celebrating a big win, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Sissinghurst, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
The process
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Summer events after work in Sissinghurst have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
