A chip van near Plaxtol
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Plaxtol
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater open days and charity and fundraising days at work.
Near Plaxtol, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
What affects the price in Plaxtol
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Plaxtol: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Plaxtol?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you cover Plaxtol?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Plaxtol and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Step by step
