A chip van near Pollards Hill

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Pollards Hill

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for open days and charity days.

London work events in Pollards Hill frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Planning the van’s spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

As a London location, Pollards Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How the day works

A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Lunchtime staff treats in Pollards Hill are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Give us a contact for the day

Why choose a fish and chip van in Pollards Hill?

For a thank-you that lands, a chip van is hard to beat. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

What you get with us

  • No surprises in your quote
  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.

Should I sort the food myself?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
