Corporate fish and chip catering for Crofton events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Crofton, fried fresh
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For thank-you lunches for the team and retirement and leaving lunches, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Around Crofton, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Lunchtime bookings in Crofton 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.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the shift pattern
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Crofton: your questions answered
What about parking in Crofton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your staff
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Crofton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Crofton
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- No surprises in your quote
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Classic food your staff already know

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
