Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Pentonville

Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater lunch for site crews and retirement and leaving lunches.

For offices in and around Pentonville, the van normally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Pentonville

Which station is closest to Pentonville?

The closest is Essex Road station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Could you trade in Barnard Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

What’s on the menu?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

How long are you on site?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.

What does the van need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

How the day works

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. A lunch-break van visit in Pentonville is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Choosing a fish and chip van

Allergies and dietary needs

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
  • Ask staff to pre-order

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Planning the van’s spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

Pentonville 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 before booking.

Popular choices

  • Staff lunches
  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Numbers
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The menu and how many choices
  • How long we serve

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Your date and serving time
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The venue or postcode

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
