A chip van near Chelsea
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Chelsea
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and project milestones.
For offices in and around Chelsea, the van usually parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. After-work summer events in Chelsea have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Chelsea? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Chelsea for staff days and team lunches
Chelsea is about 2 miles south-east of Kensington, in Greater London. Bookings in Chelsea come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Chelsea is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van.
By road, Chelsea is on or near the B302 and B304, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van. Within reach of Chelsea are historic houses such as Carlyle's House (within half a mile south-west) and Apsley House (1.1 miles north-east). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.
This part of Greater London takes in SW3, SW10, SW1X and SW1W, and we can serve your staff event anywhere in it. From Markham Square, Wellington Square and Tedworth Square or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. You will find Chelsea on the B302 and B304, so it is easy for us to reach with the van.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A spot near your staff
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Chelsea is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
