Corporate fish and chip catering in Gallows Corner, cooked to order

A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. We are often asked to cater open days and customer events and staff appreciation days, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.

London work events in Gallows Corner often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

These are the factors that matter most:

  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The number of meals
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The date and time of year

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • A photo of the parking spot

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Why book with us

  • No kitchen needed
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • Events in Gallows Corner and across Greater London

Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Space, access and the venue

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, Gallows Corner 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’ll say what we think.

15 questions to ask before you book

Should I sort the food myself?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

FAQs for Gallows Corner

Which station is closest to Gallows Corner?

Gidea Park station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.

Could you trade in Raphael Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Can the van park on grass?

Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What do you bring?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

How the day works

Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For an end-of-day event in Gallows Corner, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
