Corporate fish and chip catering in Coldharbour
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Coldharbour
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater a monthly Fish Friday and summer staff parties.
For offices in and around Coldharbour, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a staff lunch in Coldharbour, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Ensure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Coldharbour is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Coldharbour
What’s the nearest station to Coldharbour?
Canary Wharf station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
What about parking in Coldharbour?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
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.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
