Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Flag any coeliac staff
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Abbey Wood, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Typical bookings include end-of-project celebrations and retirement send-offs, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
In Abbey Wood, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. After-work summer events in Abbey Wood have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Abbey Wood?
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Classic food your staff already know
- We cover Abbey Wood and the whole of Greater London
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
