Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in City of London
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and retirement and leaving lunches.
For offices in and around City of London, the van typically parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Questions from City of London
What’s the nearest station to City of London?
London Cannon Street station, in City of London itself.
Could you trade in St Alphage Garden?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
