Fresh fish and chips in Longlands
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Longlands
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For fish Friday treats and end-of-project celebrations, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Longlands, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Workplace catering around Longlands
Longlands is about 1 mile west of Sidcup, in Greater London. Longlands is well within our area, so your staff event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 9 miles away.
Within reach of Longlands are historic houses such as Eltham Palace (2 miles north-west) and Danson House (2.3 miles north-east).

We take the van to staff events all over the DA15, DA14 and SE9 postcode area and the streets around it.

Longlands questions
What about parking in Longlands?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Planners, venues and businesses
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 keeps things simple.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. Lunchtime staff treats in Longlands are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Put allergy details in writing
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Longlands 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
