About our corporate fish and chip catering in Carshalton

It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. For project milestones and charity and fundraising days at work, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.

For offices in and around Carshalton, the van usually parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

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.

Space, access and the venue

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A short walk from the party
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

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

  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

How it works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Lunchtime staff treats in Carshalton are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
