How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Aldington Frith
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and fish Friday treats.
Near Aldington Frith, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

The process
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a staff lunch in Aldington Frith, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Common questions in Aldington Frith
Could you trade in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Aldington Frith from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

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

How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
