A chip van near Laddingford
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Laddingford
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Typical bookings include project milestones and staff appreciation days, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Laddingford, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Laddingford questions
Is Laddingford close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Laddingford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
