About our corporate fish and chip catering in Puddle Dock
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and project milestones.
In Puddle Dock, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your staff
As a London location, Puddle Dock is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How it works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Lunchtime bookings in Puddle Dock are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. 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.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- 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
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
