Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Aldington
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. For shift teams at depots and warehouses and staff thank-you lunches, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
At country workplaces around Aldington, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What affects the price in Aldington
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Collect allergies in advance
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. After-work summer events in Aldington have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
