Fresh fish and chips in Cheam

Corporate fish and chip catering in Cheam, cooked to order

We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so nobody misses out. Whether it’s warehouse, depot and site teams and end-of-project celebrations, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips for your guests.

For offices in and around Cheam, the van normally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning the van’s spot

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A short walk from the party
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Cheam 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 will advise before booking.

Working with your venue

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies

Put bins near the hatch.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

How it works

When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. For an end-of-day event in Cheam, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Ask for a quote

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
