Corporate fish and chip catering in Wichling, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and celebrating a big win.
Near Wichling, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
For event organisers in Wichling
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Consider a pre-order list
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Put allergy details in writing
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Wichling questions
Could you trade in Doddington Place Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Wichling?
The closest is Lenham station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Wichling?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Takeaway run or book a 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 solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- The date and time of the event

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
