About our corporate fish and chip catering in Chalk Farm
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. We’re often asked to cater staff appreciation days and workplace fundraising days, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Chalk Farm, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Where the van can park in Chalk Farm
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A spot near your staff
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Chalk Farm is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book our van in Chalk Farm
- No surprises in your quote
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form

- Put allergy details in writing
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For an end-of-day event in Chalk Farm, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

About the food
Gravy
