Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Ulcombe
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it is customer days and fish Friday treats, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near Ulcombe, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. For a staff lunch in Ulcombe, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Consider a pre-order list
- Send allergies to us in writing
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Questions from Ulcombe
Which station is closest to Ulcombe?
Harrietsham station, about 2.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. Visitors love it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Ulcombe?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
