Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Westwood
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for summer staff parties and charity and fundraising days at work.
At country workplaces around Westwood, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Give us break and shift times
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
A chip van compared with other options

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Westwood questions
Which station is closest to Westwood?
The closest is Bekesbourne station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
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’ll follow the site rules.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Westwood.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- The day of the week
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Lunchtime staff treats in Westwood are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
