About our corporate fish and chip catering in High Barnet
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. Typical bookings include retirement send-offs and charity and fundraising days at work, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In High Barnet, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

High Barnet questions
What about parking in High Barnet?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
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.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll go through it with you.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning a team lunch in High Barnet
High Barnet is about 1 mile north-west of Barnet, in Greater London. High Barnet is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from High Barnet to London (about 12 miles away).
With the A1081 nearby, access for the van is straightforward. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Hadley Wood station, roughly 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Wherever your staff event is in EN5, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a staff event at a home on Byng Road, Park Road and Kings Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. High Barnet is on the A1081, which makes the journey straightforward. If your venue is just outside High Barnet, we also cover Hadley (1 mile east), Arkley (1 mile south-west), Kitts End (1 mile north), Totteridge (1 mile south) and Rowley Green (2 miles west).

- Nearby, you will find The White Lion pub (less than half a mile north-east)
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Put allergy details in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Lunchtime bookings in High Barnet are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
