How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Highgate
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We’re frequently asked to cater open days and workplace fundraising days, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Around Highgate, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a staff lunch in Highgate, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Highgate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

- Cod and chips

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
