Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Penge
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Typical bookings include shift teams at depots and warehouses and summer team days, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Around Penge, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

What affects the price in Penge
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your staff
As a London location, Penge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime bookings in Penge are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Questions from Penge
Is parking a problem for the van in Penge?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Penge?
Penge West station, in Penge itself.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you invoice the company?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards typically work well.
