How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Skeete
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. We are frequently asked to cater open days and retirement send-offs, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Skeete, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.

Skeete: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Skeete from London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
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 will send a quote.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. Visitors love it.
For event organisers in Skeete

Organising a club, school or community event in Skeete? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

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’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
