Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Teston
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for project milestones and warehouse, depot and site teams.
Rural businesses around Teston can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. 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.
What affects the price in Teston
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:

Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Consider a pre-order list
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

A chip van compared with other options
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Bookings across Kent, including Teston
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
