About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Tankerton?
The closest is Whitstable station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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 do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Tankerton, cooked to order

Around Tankerton, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Summer events after work in Tankerton have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:45pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Getting a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send round an allergy question
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Share the shift pattern
We can serve each shift in turn.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

A chip van compared with other options
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
