Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
How long are you on site?

Corporate fish and chip catering in Islington, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Whether it is lunch for site crews and retirement and leaving lunches, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For offices in and around Islington, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event. For a staff lunch in Islington, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- 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.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Give us break and shift times
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
After the last group, we pack up.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Where the van can park in Islington
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Islington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
