Corporate fish and chip catering in Dalston, fried fresh
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Typical bookings include retirement and leaving lunches and warehouse, depot and site teams, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For offices in and around Dalston, the van typically parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Dalston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Dalston, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

What affects the price in Dalston
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask staff to pre-order
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Could you trade in Haggerston Park?
