Corporate fish and chip catering in Poverest, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot whether you are first or last in the queue. We are often asked to cater team away days and charity and fundraising days at work, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Poverest, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

- Any dietary needs and allergies

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. For a staff lunch in Poverest, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Poverest is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Questions from Poverest
Can the van park in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van come to Poverest?
We do. We serve events in Poverest and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
