How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hornsey
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. Typical bookings include celebrating a big win and retirement send-offs, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In Hornsey, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Hornsey questions
Can the van park in Priory Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hornsey?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Hornsey is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. A lunch-break van visit in Hornsey is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
Ask for a quote
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.
