How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Staplehurst
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. We are often asked to cater open days and charity days, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Around Staplehurst, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Lunchtime bookings in Staplehurst are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Staplehurst: your questions answered
How far is Staplehurst from London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Can the van come to Staplehurst?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Staplehurst and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you cater for 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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before you book
- Something for staff to gather round
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Classic food your staff already know
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
What affects the price in Staplehurst

- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
