Corporate fish and chip catering in Kit's Coty
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. After-work summer events in Kit's Coty have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Give us break and shift times
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Ask facilities about access
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Kit's Coty questions
Which station is closest to Kit's Coty?
The closest is Aylesford station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can the van park in Westfield Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.

What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
