Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Monkhams
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We are often asked to cater friday lunch treats and charity and fundraising days at work, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
London work events in Monkhams often run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Common questions in Monkhams
Is parking a problem for the van in Monkhams?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Monkhams?
Highams Park station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Where the van can park in Monkhams
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Monkhams is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
