About our corporate fish and chip catering in Bow Common
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. Typical bookings include end-of-project celebrations and open days, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For offices in and around Bow Common, the van usually 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. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Lunchtime staff treats in Bow Common are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
