Corporate fish and chip catering in Hampstead
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hampstead
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Whether it is retirement and leaving lunches and team away days, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Around Hampstead, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Common questions in Hampstead
Is parking a problem for the van in Hampstead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Kilburn Grange Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

A chip van compared with other options
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book our van in Hampstead
- Classic food your staff already know
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 usually the easier option.
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.

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Hampstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. A lunch-break van visit in Hampstead is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
