DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Kew

Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We’re frequently asked to cater celebrating a big win and workplace fundraising days, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

Around Kew, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • The number of meals
  • How far we travel
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Cod, haddock or both

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Dietary needs, with numbers

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Kew

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

FAQs for Kew

Is parking a problem for the van in Kew?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

What’s the nearest station to Kew?

The closest is Chiswick station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Where will the van go on our site?

That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

What can staff choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

What do you bring?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Planning for dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Send round an allergy question

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Perfect for your staff event in Kew

It suits shift teams, because service can be planned in waves.

Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:

  • Friday lunch treats
  • Lunch for site crews
  • Open days
  • Retirement and leaving lunches

Nearby historic houses include Kew Palace (0.7 miles west) and Chiswick House (0.8 miles east). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans.

What your quote should include

  • What the price includes, item by item
  • Whether travel is included
  • When final numbers are due
  • The van’s size and access needs

How to compare vans

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Why book with us

  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • We cover Kew and the whole of Greater London

Staff lunches in Kew: access and travel

Commuters will know that Chiswick station is about 0.5 miles away. By road, Kew is on or near the A3000, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van.

For staff events in W4, TW9 and TW8, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many staff. Your staff event could be at a house on Kew Road, Maze Road and Kent Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Being close to the A3000, Kew is simple for us to get to for your staff event. For staff events just outside Kew, we cover Strand-on-the-Green (1 mile north), Grove Park (1 mile east), North Sheen (1 mile south), Gunnersbury (1 mile north) and Turnham Green (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (8 miles east), City of Westminster (6 miles east), Marylebone (6 miles north-east), Kensington (3 miles east), St Pancras (7 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (9 miles east).

Step by step

The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. For an end-of-day event in Kew, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
