A chip van compared with other options
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why Finchley hosts choose us
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Finchley
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. For open days and workplace fundraising days, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
In Finchley, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Finchley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. Lunchtime staff treats in Finchley are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
