How our corporate fish and chip catering works in East Dulwich

Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. For workplace fundraising days and retirement send-offs, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.

For offices in and around East Dulwich, the van normally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What a fish and chip van costs

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • Access and parking
  • How far we travel
  • Your choice of menu
  • Service time

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Where the van would park
  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

It’s 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.

Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Before you choose a spot

We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van

East Dulwich is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Sausage and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Mushy peas

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Planning for dietary needs

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for

  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
