Corporate fish and chip catering in Norbury, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for charity days and end-of-project celebrations.
For offices in and around Norbury, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Bookings across Greater London, including Norbury
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A van that becomes part of the event

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Common questions in Norbury
Could you trade in Grangewood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Norbury?
The closest is Norbury station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you come onto our site?
Typically, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. For a staff lunch in Norbury, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
