About our corporate fish and chip catering in Merton Abbey
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. For staff appreciation days and summer team days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
Around Merton Abbey, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Put allergy details in writing
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
