How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Plaistow

A chip van compared with other options
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. A lunch-break van visit in Plaistow is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

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.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
