Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Wissenden
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for a monthly Fish Friday and retirement send-offs.
Near Wissenden, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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.

Wissenden: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wissenden?
The closest is Pluckley station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
How far is Wissenden from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to Wissenden?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Wissenden. To check your date, use our quote form.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
