Corporate fish and chip catering in Redbridge, fried fresh
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We’re frequently asked to cater friday lunch treats and staff thank-you lunches, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For offices in and around Redbridge, the van typically parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 is crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Redbridge 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Redbridge
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. For a staff lunch in Redbridge, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day

Why choose a fish and chip van in Redbridge?
