DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Mortlake
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for warehouse, depot and site teams and fish Friday treats.
London work events in Mortlake frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In Mortlake, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Mortlake is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Is parking a problem for the van in Mortlake?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Palewell Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards normally work well.
