Corporate fish and chip catering for Merton Park events
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Lunchtime staff treats in Merton Park are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Merton Park
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for workplace fundraising days and open days and customer events.
In Merton Park, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Where the van would park

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Common questions in Merton Park
What’s the nearest station to Merton Park?
South Merton station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Merton Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
