About our corporate fish and chip catering in Elephant and Castle
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. For celebrating a big win and customer days, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For offices in and around Elephant and Castle, the van usually parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Elephant and Castle is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Elephant and Castle
Can the van park in Newington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Elephant and Castle?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What you get with us
- We cover Elephant and Castle and the whole of Greater London
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A van that becomes part of the event
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Share the shift pattern
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Find out what documents the site needs
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
