Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Lissenden Gardens
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. For warehouse, depot and site teams and retirement send-offs, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
For offices in and around Lissenden Gardens, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

- A spot near your staff
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Lissenden Gardens is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
