Corporate fish and chip catering in East Barnet, cooked to order
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 it gets people talking. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for charity days and customer days.
For offices in and around East Barnet, the van usually parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What else we do in East Barnet
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
What you get with us
- Something for staff to gather round
- Events in East Barnet and across Greater London
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- All the chip-shop extras
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. For an end-of-day event in East Barnet, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm.
