- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cover Aylesford and the whole of Kent
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Lunchtime bookings in Aylesford are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Aylesford?
People mix in the queue and talking.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Staff thank-you lunches
- Retirement and leaving lunches
- Celebrating a big win
- Charity and fundraising days at work
Nearby historic houses include Starkey Castle (4.5 miles north). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.
Comparing caterers
- How much space the van takes up
- If the price includes VAT
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
