Corporate fish and chip catering in Thanington
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Thanington
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and open days.
Around Thanington, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
For event organisers in Thanington
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Send round an allergy question
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
A chip van compared with other options
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
