Corporate fish and chip catering for Richmond events

Planners, venues and businesses

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Richmond? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Richmond

We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. We’re frequently asked to cater lunch for site crews and team away days, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.

For offices in and around Richmond, the van normally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How the day works

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event in Richmond. Summer events after work in Richmond have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Name one person we can call on the day

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Ask facilities about access
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Flag any coeliac staff

For shift teams, we serve in waves.

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Richmond: your questions answered

Can the van park in Terrace and Buccleuch Gardens?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

What’s the nearest station to Richmond?

The closest is Richmond station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Do you cover Richmond?

Yes, we do. We serve events in Richmond and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Can you come onto our site?

Normally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.

What if we only have street parking?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Can you invoice the company?

Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.

About the food

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Before you choose a spot

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

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

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
