Corporate fish and chip catering in North Ockendon, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
In North Ockendon, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Collect allergies in advance
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. Summer events after work in North Ockendon have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
