Corporate fish and chip catering in Long Ditton, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater fish Friday treats and project milestones.
In Long Ditton, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for staff to gather round
- Hot food handed straight over
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Long Ditton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

For event organisers in Long Ditton
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Questions to ask before booking
- How many hours the van serves
- When payment is due
- Allergen information for each item
- Whether VAT is included
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
