How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Plaistow
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it’s team away days and retirement and leaving lunches, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In Plaistow, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Plaistow, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
