About our corporate fish and chip catering in Coldharbour
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater celebrating a big win and leaving dos.
In Coldharbour, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Coldharbour questions
Could you trade in Elmstead Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in Coldharbour?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Lunchtime bookings in Coldharbour are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Tell us when you want to eat
