A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Hempstead
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so nobody misses out. We’re often asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and staff appreciation days, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

What affects the price in Hempstead
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- The length of service
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hempstead
Which station is closest to Hempstead?
The closest is Rainham (Kent) station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is Hempstead close to London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
