Fresh fish and chips in Cricklewood

Planning the van’s spot

If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

Cricklewood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

From the hatch

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Cricklewood

Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will go through what your site needs from us. For retirement and leaving lunches and charity and fundraising days at work, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

In Cricklewood, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • How long we serve
  • The minimum booking
  • The day of the week
  • Access and parking

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • The date and time of the event
  • Dietary needs, with numbers

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Cricklewood for staff days and team lunches

Cricklewood is about 1 mile north-west of Kilburn, in Greater London. Across the NW2 area, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. Our bookings stretch from Cricklewood to London (about 7 miles away).

Nearby historic houses include Fenton House (1.7 miles east) and Heath House (1.7 miles east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles. With the A407 nearby, access for the van is straightforward.

Staff events anywhere in NW2, NW6 and NW10 start with a parking spot for the van. Local streets include Ivy Road, Walm Lane and Dean Road; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Being close to the A407, Cricklewood is simple for us to get to. Close by, we cover staff events in Brondesbury (1 mile south-east), Willesden (1 mile south-west), Dollis Hill (1 mile north-west), Willesden Green (1 mile south-west) and Neasden (1 mile west). Further out, we also take the van to London (7 miles south-east), City of Westminster (4 miles south-east), Marylebone (4 miles south-east), Kensington (4 miles south), St Pancras (5 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (6 miles east).

Well-known places in the area include Brent Cross Shopping Centre (1.5 miles north) and Brent Museum and Archives (0.7 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Parliament Hill and Westbere Copse.

  • Nearby schools include Hampstead School (0.5 miles east) and Brondesbury College (0.9 miles south)
  • Local pubs include The Crown Public House (less than half a mile north-east)
  • Local facilities include Frognal and Fitzjohns (1.4 miles east)

Takeaway run or book a van?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Questions from Cricklewood

Is parking a problem for the van in Cricklewood?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

Can the van park in Gladstone Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

What paperwork do you provide?

Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Cricklewood?

How to compare vans

Planning for dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.

The menu, dish by dish

Sausage and chips

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What happens on the day

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. For an end-of-day event in Cricklewood, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm.

  1. You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
  2. You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Let us know the serving time
