Corporate fish and chip catering for New Southgate events

Corporate fish and chip catering in New Southgate, cooked to order

We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will go through what your site needs from us. We are often asked to cater team away days and charity days, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.

In New Southgate, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

New Southgate: your questions answered

Is parking a problem for the van in New Southgate?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.

Can the van park in O. R. Tambo Recreation Ground?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.

What about staff who don’t eat fish?

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

When do you arrive?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Can you cater for allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Looking after everyone

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Flag any coeliac staff

We can serve each shift in turn.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

What a fish and chip van costs

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Numbers
  • Access and parking
  • The menu and how many choices

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Getting an accurate quote

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • A picture of where the van would go

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

What happens on the day

We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Summer events after work in New Southgate have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

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.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Mushy peas

Before you choose a spot

New Southgate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
