Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Charing Cross
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 it gets people talking. Typical bookings include friday lunch treats and charity and fundraising days at work, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Around Charing Cross, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Charing Cross questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Charing Cross?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Which station is closest to Charing Cross?
London Charing Cross station, in Charing Cross itself.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask facilities about access
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Find out what documents the site needs
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
