Corporate fish and chip catering for St Mary Cray events
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, St Mary Cray is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Corporate fish and chip catering in St Mary Cray, fried fresh
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater workplace fundraising days and project milestones.
In St Mary Cray, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in St Mary Cray
What about parking in St Mary Cray?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
