Corporate fish and chip catering in Merton
Where the van can park in Merton
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your staff
As a London location, Merton 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 picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For friday lunch treats and team away days, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Around Merton, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are normally cold. A van serves hot food to order. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book our van in Merton
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A clear quote before you book
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen needed
Takeaway run or book a van?
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’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give us break and shift times
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Find out what documents the site needs
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

FAQs for Merton
Could you trade in Wandle Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Merton?
The closest is Haydons Road station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Can the van come to Merton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Merton. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
