How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Kingsnorth
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and customer days, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural businesses around Kingsnorth can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There’s 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.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the parking spot
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Kingsnorth?
It’s memorable.
Whatever the occasion in Kingsnorth, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are frequently booked for:
- Warehouse, depot and site teams
- Summer staff parties
- Leaving dos
- A monthly Fish Friday
Commuters will know that the nearest station is Ashford International station, about 1.9 miles north.
Before you book anyone
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- Any minimum charge
- How much space the van takes up
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Kingsnorth?
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. A lunch-break van visit in Kingsnorth is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
On the menu in Kingsnorth
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Consider a pre-order list
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Kingsnorth questions
Do you come out to small places like Kingsnorth?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you come to Kingsnorth?
We do. We serve events in Kingsnorth and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
