Corporate fish and chip catering in Purley, fried fresh
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it is open days and leaving dos, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
For offices in and around Purley, the van usually parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Purley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Purley?
Purley station, in Purley itself.
Can the van park in Dollypers Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can the van come to Purley?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Purley and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Purley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
