Corporate fish and chip catering in Coulsdon
Corporate fish and chip catering in Coulsdon, cooked to order
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will go through what your site needs from us. We are often asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and lunch for site crews, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
London work events in Coulsdon frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
