Corporate fish and chip catering in West Hythe, cooked to order

Space, access and the venue

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Other occasions in West Hythe
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
FAQs for West Hythe
How far is West Hythe from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to West Hythe?
The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How do you handle allergies?

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In West Hythe, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
