How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Lower Holloway
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. For leaving dos and workplace fundraising days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
London work events in Lower Holloway frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Common questions in Lower Holloway
Could you trade in St Mary Magdalene Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Lower Holloway?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van come to Lower Holloway?
Yes, we do. Lower Holloway is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A quote that spells everything out

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your staff
As a London location, Lower Holloway is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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 before booking.

- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Lower Holloway, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
