Fresh fish and chips in Arnos Grove
Corporate fish and chip catering in Arnos Grove, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. For retirement and leaving lunches and open days and customer events, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Around Arnos Grove, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Ask facilities about access
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. In Arnos Grove, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Arnos Grove questions
Can the van park in Broomfield Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about parking in Arnos Grove?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your staff
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Arnos Grove is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
