A fish and chip van or other catering?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Foots Cray
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will go through what your site needs from us. We’re frequently asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and a monthly Fish Friday, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
London work events in Foots Cray frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Where the van can park in Foots Cray
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Foots Cray is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a staff lunch in Foots Cray, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- 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
