Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Densole
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. For fish Friday treats and open days, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural businesses around Densole can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your staff event in Densole. For a staff lunch in Densole, daylight is not 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, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Densole
Do you come out to small places like Densole?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Densole?
Folkestone West station, about 3.1 miles south of the centre.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Workplace catering around Densole
Densole is about 3 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. People in Densole book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Densole to Canterbury (about 11 miles away).
Commuters will know that the nearest station is Folkestone West station, about 3.1 miles south. Nearby historic houses include Acrise Place (1.2 miles north-west). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
We serve staff events across CT18. Streets in the area include St John's Close, St John's Way and Canterbury Road, and the van can serve a staff event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to staff events in Hawkinge (1 mile south), Swingfield Minnis (1 mile north), Old Hawkinge (2 miles south-east), Arpinge (2 miles south-west) and Selsted (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Ashford (13 miles west), Canterbury (11 miles north), Dover (6 miles east), Folkestone (3 miles south), Deal (12 miles north-east) and Hythe (5 miles south-west).
A little further out are Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (2.7 miles south-west) and Folkestone Castle (2.1 miles south). Open spaces near Densole include Cheriton Hill.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Send round an allergy question
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
