Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Canary Wharf

A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. For friday lunch treats and end-of-project celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.

London work events in Canary Wharf 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, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planning a team lunch in Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf is about 2 miles north-west of Greenwich, in Greater London. Whether your staff event is in the middle of Canary Wharf or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.

The A1261 put Canary Wharf within easy reach for the van. Nearby historic houses include Queen's House (1.8 miles south) and Mansion House (3.1 miles west). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.

We take the van to staff events all over E14, SE16 and E22. That could mean a staff event at a home on Castor Lane, Cassilis Road and Dockyard Lane, wherever the van can park. You’ll find Canary Wharf on the A1261, which makes the journey straightforward. Nearby, we also serve staff events in London Docklands (1 mile east), Poplar (1 mile north-east), Heron Quays (1 mile south-west), Coldharbour (1 mile east) and Blackwall (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include London (3 miles west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles north-west).

A little further out are Poplar Hospital (0.7 miles north-east) and Greenwich Castle (2 miles south). Within reach you will find St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.

  • Local schools include Tower Hamlets College (under half a mile north-east) and Canary Wharf College 3 (0.8 miles south)
  • Local pubs include The Ledger Building pub (less than half a mile north-west)
  • Local facilities include Holy Trinity (1.8 miles north-west)

How the day works

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your staff event. A lunch-break van visit in Canary Wharf is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

FAQs for Canary Wharf

Can the van park in Sir John McDougall Gardens?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.

What’s the nearest station to Canary Wharf?

Canary Wharf has its own station: Canary Wharf station.

How fast is service?

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.

Can you park in our car park or yard?

That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards typically work well.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Can you invoice the company?

Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.

What paperwork do you provide?

Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.

What do we need to supply?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Working with your venue

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Space, access and the venue

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Canary Wharf is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

On the menu in Canary Wharf

  • Staff lunches
  • Mushy peas
  • Sausage and chips

  • Haddock and chips

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

  • Give us break and shift times
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Ask facilities about access
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need

Put bins near the hatch.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

What affects the price in Canary Wharf

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Numbers
  • The length of service
  • Parking and the way in
  • Travel, tolls and road charges

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Send us the date, the address or E14 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
