A chip van near Kings Cross

Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Kings Cross, fried fresh

Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch for site crews and friday lunch treats.

Around Kings Cross, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Space, access and the venue

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

Kings Cross is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

On the menu in Kings Cross

  • Staff lunches
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

How the day works

We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. Lunchtime staff treats in Kings Cross are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. We start with a few details about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The minimum booking
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The number of meals
  • How far we travel

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Details that help

  • Expected numbers
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of the parking spot

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Occasions we serve in Kings Cross

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Kings Cross

Is parking a problem for the van in Kings Cross?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.

What’s the nearest station to Kings Cross?

Kings Cross has its own station: London Kings Cross station.

Do you have allergen information?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.

What can staff choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

What paperwork do you provide?

Send us your site’s list, and we’ll go through it with you.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Collect allergies in advance

Put bins near the hatch.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
