About our corporate fish and chip catering in Durrant Green
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Typical bookings include celebrating a big win and retirement and leaving lunches, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Durrant Green, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planning a team lunch in Durrant Green
Durrant Green is about 8 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of Durrant Green to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 922 places across Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Durrant Green to Canterbury (about 21 miles away).
Durrant Green is about 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard. Within reach of Durrant Green are historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (4.3 miles south).

With the High Weald National Landscape within about 7 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask facilities about access
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask staff to pre-order
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
