Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Hawthorn?
People remember it, which is the point of a thank-you.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:

Corporate fish and chip catering in Hawthorn, cooked to order
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and lunch for site crews.
At country workplaces around Hawthorn, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. A lunch-break van visit in Hawthorn is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hawthorn
Do you come out to small places like Hawthorn?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
