How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Bakers Arms
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. We’re frequently asked to cater fish Friday treats and workplace fundraising days, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Around Bakers Arms, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What your quote should include
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- How many hours the van serves
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- Payment terms and deposit
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Send us the date, the address or E17 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Bakers Arms, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Bakers Arms is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Bakers Arms

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. 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.
