Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Little Portugal
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We are frequently asked to cater summer staff parties and shift teams at depots and warehouses, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Around Little Portugal, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For an end-of-day event in Little Portugal, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- How far we travel
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Where the van can park in Little Portugal
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Little Portugal is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send round an allergy question
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Common questions in Little Portugal
Could you trade in Larkhall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Little Portugal?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
