Corporate fish and chip catering in Old Town
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Old Town
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. For charity and fundraising days at work and customer days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Around Old Town, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the space and the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Old Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Old Town? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
