Corporate fish and chip catering for Hook events
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. Lunchtime bookings in Hook are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

The menu, dish by dish
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 what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hook
Is Hook close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Hook?
Hook has its own station: Hook station.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can you come onto our site?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards normally work well.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
