Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Eltham
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Whether it’s open days and charity and fundraising days at work, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
In Eltham, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Take a look at how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Eltham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Eltham
Is parking a problem for the van in Eltham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Horn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you come onto our site?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards typically work well.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Collect allergies in advance
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. A lunch-break van visit in Eltham is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
