Corporate fish and chip catering for Grove Park events
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Grove Park
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for shift teams at depots and warehouses and summer staff parties.
London work events in Grove Park often run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Grove Park questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Grove Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Chinbrook Meadows?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll go through it with you.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Grove Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
