Fresh fish and chips in Barnet

Corporate fish and chip catering in Barnet, fried fresh

We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Whether it’s lunch for site crews and celebrating a big win, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.

London work events in Barnet frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

How to compare vans

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • The menu and how many choices
  • The minimum booking
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • How easy the site is to reach

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Getting an accurate quote

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Your date and serving time
  • The venue or postcode
  • Expected numbers
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

How the day works

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event in Barnet. For an end-of-day event in Barnet, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

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’s crisp.

For event organisers in Barnet

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Planning the van’s spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • A short walk from the party

As a London location, Barnet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

On the menu in Barnet

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
