Corporate fish and chip catering in Park Farm, fried fresh
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater project milestones and thank-you lunches for the team, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Park Farm, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Summer events after work in Park Farm have light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Common questions in Park Farm
Which station is closest to Park Farm?
Ashford International station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van come to Park Farm?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Park Farm and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us break and shift times
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
