Book the van in Old Oak Common

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Old Oak Common

It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for charity and fundraising days at work and a monthly Fish Friday.

Around Old Oak Common, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How to compare vans

What the van needs

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

As a London location, Old Oak Common is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

From the hatch

Looking after everyone

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Confirm allergies by email

  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

What a fish and chip van costs

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • How long we serve
  • How many people are eating
  • The date and time of year
  • How far we travel

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Getting an accurate quote

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • The venue or postcode
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Anything awkward about the way in

Send us the date, the address or NW10 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

How it works

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a staff lunch in Old Oak Common, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help

Planners, venues and businesses

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Old Oak Common questions

What about parking in Old Oak Common?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

Can the van park in Little Wormwood Scrubs?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

What if we only have street parking?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

What do you bring?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What can staff choose from?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Old Oak Common?

A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
