About our corporate fish and chip catering in Monks Orchard
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Typical bookings include end-of-project celebrations and retirement send-offs, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For offices in and around Monks Orchard, the van usually parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Monks Orchard is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Other occasions in Monks Orchard
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
After the last group, we pack up.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. For a staff lunch in Monks Orchard, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
