Corporate fish and chip catering for Tonbridge events
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Share the shift pattern
- Have a back-up for special diets
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Tonbridge, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for open days and project milestones.
For businesses in Tonbridge, a Friday lunch in the car park is an easy win, if the site agrees. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Tonbridge
Is Tonbridge close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Tonbridge?
Tonbridge station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Tonbridge for staff days and team lunches
Tonbridge is about 12 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Tonbridge to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 26 miles away.
Within reach of Tonbridge are historic houses such as Ightham Mote (4.1 miles north) and Penshurst Place (4.4 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for vehicles. Tonbridge sits roughly 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

We can serve a staff event on streets such as High Street, Old London Road and London Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Being close to the A26 and A227, Tonbridge is easy for us to reach.

- Local pubs include Ivy House Public House (under half a mile west)
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events after work in Tonbridge have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
