FAQs for Stowting
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
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.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Stowting, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Whether it’s charity days and shift teams at depots and warehouses, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Rural businesses around Stowting can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event. Lunchtime staff treats in Stowting are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
