Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Gidea Park
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We are often asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and warehouse, depot and site teams, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Gidea Park, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Gidea Park: your questions answered
Could you trade in Raphael Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Gidea Park?
Gidea Park station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Send round an allergy question
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Larger groups typically 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.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Lunchtime staff treats in Gidea Park are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Make sure the van can get in
