Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Croydon
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We’re often asked to cater team away days and charity days, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Around Croydon, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Croydon for staff days and team lunches
Croydon is about 9 miles south of London, in Greater London. In and around Croydon, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We cover 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 9 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Addington Palace (2.5 miles east) and Kingswood House (4.4 miles north). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. For staff and visitors coming by train, South Croydon station serves Croydon directly.
Anywhere in CR0, CR2, CR9 and CR8, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your staff event could be at a house on High Street, Church Road and Ruskin Square or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Croydon?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- No kitchen needed
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Hot food handed straight over

Where the van can park in Croydon
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Croydon is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
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 usually simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Lunchtime staff treats in Croydon are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

Croydon questions
What’s the nearest station to Croydon?
Croydon has its own station: South Croydon station.
Could you trade in Park Hill Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll go through it with you.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
About the food
Sausage and chips
