Corporate fish and chip catering in Clerkenwell, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it is open days and warehouse, depot and site teams, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Around Clerkenwell, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Lunchtime bookings in Clerkenwell are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.

What the van needs

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Clerkenwell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Questions from Clerkenwell
Could you trade in King Square Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Clerkenwell?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards typically work well.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you come to Clerkenwell?
We do. We serve events in Clerkenwell and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Clerkenwell?
Hot food in the car park, rain or shine, because the cooking is inside the van.
