Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Bloomsbury

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it is summer team days and charity and fundraising days at work, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.

For offices in and around Bloomsbury, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How the day works

When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For an end-of-day event in Bloomsbury, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.

  1. You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
  4. On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Make sure the van can get in

Bloomsbury questions

Which station is closest to Bloomsbury?

London Euston station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.

Can the van park in Lincoln's Inn Fields?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Do you take everything away?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Can you cater for allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

When do you arrive?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

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 usually the easier option.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • The length of service
  • The number of meals
  • Cod, haddock or both

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What to tell us

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Where the event is
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Where the van would park
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat

We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.

Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
