Corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Clapton, fried fresh

We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so nobody misses out. We are often asked to cater leaving dos and celebrating a big win, with mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.

Around Lower Clapton, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How to compare vans

Diets, allergies and planning

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Give us break and shift times

After the last group, we pack up.

Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Why book our van in Lower Clapton

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • A quote that spells everything out

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Lower Clapton: your questions answered

Can the van park in Millfields Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What about parking in Lower Clapton?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

What can staff choose from?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

Can you serve each shift?

Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Can you park in our car park or yard?

That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Service time
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • The minimum booking

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Expected numbers
  • The venue or postcode

To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Lower Clapton, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

The process

You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Lunchtime bookings in Lower Clapton are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van

How to get a price

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

As a London location, Lower Clapton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
