The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Ponders End
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it’s project milestones and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
London work events in Ponders End frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Ponders End: your questions answered
Could you trade in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Ponders End?
Ponders End has its own station: Ponders End station.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Ponders End?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Where will the van go on our site?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.

What else we do in Ponders End
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the space and the way in
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
