Corporate fish and chip catering for Old Malden events
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Old Malden
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. For fish Friday treats and summer staff parties, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Teams near Old Malden often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Old Malden: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Old Malden?
Tolworth station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
How far is Old Malden from London?
Roughly 11 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Where the van can park in Old Malden
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. A lunch-break van visit in Old Malden is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
