How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Millbank
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for warehouse, depot and site teams and friday lunch treats.
Near Millbank, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
