Book the van in Barnes
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
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.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Barnes, fried fresh
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 people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for open days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
In Barnes, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your staff
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Barnes is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
What affects the price in Barnes
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- How long we serve
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Events we cater in Barnes
There’s nothing to book but the van, so it is simple to arrange.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Barnes book the van for events such as:
- Retirement send-offs
- Customer days
- Warehouse, depot and site teams
- Fish Friday treats
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Barnes has its own station, Barnes Bridge station.
Before you book anyone
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Payment terms and deposit
- How many hours the van serves
- How allergens are handled
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We can serve each shift in turn.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
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 generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
