Corporate fish and chip catering in Old Dean, fried fresh
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for shift teams at depots and warehouses and summer staff parties.
Work events near Old Dean might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Send round an allergy question
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

For event organisers in Old Dean
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
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.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.

Planning help
Old Dean: your questions answered
Could you trade in Poors Allotment?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Old Dean from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
