Fresh fish and chips in Grubb Street
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Grubb Street
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and charity and fundraising days at work.
At country workplaces around Grubb Street, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- Classic food your staff already know
- A clear quote before you book
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- No kitchen needed

Common questions in Grubb Street
Can the van park in Longfield Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Grubb Street from London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Grubb Street, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
What a fish and chip van costs

- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
