Corporate fish and chip catering for Bankside events
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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 usually the easier option.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Bankside
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Whether it is a monthly Fish Friday and end-of-project celebrations, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Around Bankside, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Bankside questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Bankside?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Bernie Spain Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask facilities about access
- Consider a pre-order list
- Share the shift pattern
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. After-work summer events in Bankside 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.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
