Corporate fish and chip catering for Chingford events

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Chingford

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for warehouse, depot and site teams and workplace fundraising days.

London work events in Chingford frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

15 questions to ask before booking

For planners, venues and organisers

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Corporate buffets are usually cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Why book with us

  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • No surprises in your quote
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • No kitchen needed

Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

Diets, allergies and planning

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Send allergies to us in writing

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.

Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

Prices and what affects them

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Numbers
  • Parking and the way in
  • The minimum booking
  • How far we travel

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

Details that help

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The date and time of the event

Planning the van’s spot

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

As a London location, Chingford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

What happens on the day

We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime bookings in Chingford are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Tell us when you want to eat

Common questions in Chingford

Could you trade in The Highams Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Which station is closest to Chingford?

The closest is Chingford station, roughly 0.9 miles away.

What do you bring?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Do you cover Chingford?

Yes, we do. Chingford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

How fast is service?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Where can the van park?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
