Corporate fish and chip catering for Barking events
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Barking
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include friday lunch treats and project milestones, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For offices in and around Barking, the van normally 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. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Where the van can park in Barking
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Barking is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Is parking a problem for the van in Barking?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
