Corporate fish and chip catering in Forest Hill
Corporate fish and chip catering in Forest Hill, fried fresh
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. We’re often asked to cater fish Friday treats and staff thank-you lunches, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
London work events in Forest Hill often 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, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Forest Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
