How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Gants Hill
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for charity days and leaving dos.
Around Gants Hill, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Gants Hill questions
Can the van park in Valentines Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Gants Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can the van come to Gants Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Gants Hill and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book our van in Gants Hill
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Classic food your staff already know
- A clear quote before booking
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
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.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a staff lunch in Gants Hill, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
