Corporate fish and chip catering in Bow
Corporate fish and chip catering in Bow, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. We are frequently asked to cater friday lunch treats and staff thank-you lunches, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
London work events in Bow frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Bow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How it works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer events after work in Bow have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

FAQs for Bow
Is parking a problem for the van in Bow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Grove Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
