Fresh fish and chips in Anerley

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Anerley, cooked to order

Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for shift teams at depots and warehouses and retirement and leaving lunches.

For offices in and around Anerley, the van typically parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Why book our van in Anerley

  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • We cover Anerley and the whole of Greater London
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Classic food your staff already know

Read how we price and our guide to van hire costs.

The process

Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. After-work summer events in Anerley have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
  3. We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. We clear up and leave the site as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Questions from Anerley

Is parking a problem for the van in Anerley?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

Which station is closest to Anerley?

Anerley has its own station: Anerley station.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

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.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The menu and how many choices
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The day of the week
  • Any minimum charge

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Where the event is
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The date and time of the event
  • A picture of where the van would go

Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses

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.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Anerley?
