Corporate fish and chip catering in Clapham, cooked to order

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. For staff appreciation days and charity days, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.

For offices in and around Clapham, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

How it works

Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Clapham, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. We clear up and leave the site as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Looking after everyone

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Send round an allergy question
  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Confirm allergies by email

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.

Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

For planners, venues and organisers

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

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Clapham

Could you trade in Larkhall Park?

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

Which station is closest to Clapham?

Clapham has its own station: Clapham High Street station.

How do you handle allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Can the van park on the street?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Clapham.

When do you arrive?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Do you work around shifts?

Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Clapham?
