Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

- Find out what documents the site needs
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Crayford
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it is retirement send-offs and end-of-project celebrations, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
For businesses around Crayford, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
For event organisers in Crayford
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
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 keeps things simple.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve

- The date and time of year

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
On the menu in Crayford

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Crayford
How far is Crayford from London?
About 12 miles from central London.
Could you trade in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
