How corporate fish and chip catering works in Greater London

A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We are often asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and leaving dos, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.

You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Cost

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Team days across Greater London

Workplaces across Greater London are frequently in London, City of Westminster and Marylebone, at offices, business parks, depots and warehouses, with rural businesses further out. We agree access and timings with the site. Parts of Greater London are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

London: Commuters will know that London has its own station, Elephant & Castle station. Historic houses near London include Mansion House (1 mile north) and Dr Johnson's House (1.2 miles north-west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. Summer events after work in London have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.

Planners, venues and businesses

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.

The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Questions from Greater London

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Do you do customer events and open days?

Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.

Can we pay by invoice?

We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.

What can staff choose from?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Is the fish gluten-free?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.

Can you park in our car park or yard?

Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards generally work well.
