Corporate fish and chip catering in Palmers Green, fried fresh
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and summer staff parties.
Around Palmers Green, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Palmers Green questions
Could you trade in Broomfield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Palmers Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For an end-of-day event in Palmers Green, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price

Planning help
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Palmers Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
