Corporate fish and chip catering in London Docklands, cooked to order

Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for open days and staff thank-you lunches.

In London Docklands, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
