Corporate fish and chip catering for Ratcliff events

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Ratcliff

It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. For warehouse, depot and site teams and customer days, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.

London work events in Ratcliff often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Before you choose a spot

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

As a London location, Ratcliff is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Mushy peas
  • Sausage and chips

  • Warehouse, depot and site teams

By road, Ratcliff is on or near the A101 and A126, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • Numbers
  • The minimum booking
  • How long we serve
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Where the event is

To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Ask staff to pre-order

We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

How it works

We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Lunchtime staff treats in Ratcliff are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
  3. Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
  4. On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
  5. We clear up and leave the site as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

How to get a price

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

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.

Questions from Ratcliff

Which station is closest to Ratcliff?

Limehouse station, in Ratcliff itself.

Could you trade in Stepney Green Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
