Fresh fish and chips in Catford
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Catford
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include summer team days and retirement send-offs, with cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
London work events in Catford often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Catford: your questions answered
Could you trade in Forster Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Catford?
The closest is Catford Bridge station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
