About our corporate fish and chip catering in Westenhanger

Rural businesses around Westenhanger can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Lunchtime staff treats in Westenhanger are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Name one person we can call on the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
