Corporate fish and chip catering in Hornchurch
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Hornchurch is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Summer events after work in Hornchurch have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.
- First, tell us 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.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

What affects the price in Hornchurch
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Confirm allergies by email
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
