The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Aylesham, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for charity days and customer days.
Around Aylesham, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. After-work summer events in Aylesham 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Share the timings for the day
Getting a price

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Aylesham for staff days and team lunches
Aylesham is about 6 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Whether your staff event is in the middle of Aylesham or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Aylesham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Aylesham to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
Aylesham is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area. For colleagues arriving by train, Aylesham station serves Aylesham directly. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.
Wherever your staff event is in CT3, we can fry fresh for your staff. Local streets include Market Place, Mexborough Square and Derwent Way; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For staff events just outside Aylesham, we cover Bloodden (1 mile north), Adisham (1 mile north), Womenswold (1 mile south-west), Woolage Green (2 miles south) and Out Elmstead (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (6 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (8 miles south-east), Folkestone (10 miles south), Ramsgate (12 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (14 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include St Martins Hospital (5.2 miles north-west).
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your staff
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Send round an allergy question
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

What’s the nearest station to Aylesham?
Aylesham station, in Aylesham itself.
How far is Aylesham from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?

Where will the van go on our site?

Is the fish gluten-free?
