Corporate fish and chip catering for Richmond upon Thames events

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Richmond upon Thames

We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. We are frequently asked to cater open days and fish Friday treats, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.

London work events in Richmond upon Thames frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and planning

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

  • Share the shift pattern
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Flag any coeliac staff
  • Ask facilities about access

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

What the van needs

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • A spot near your staff
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

As a London location, Richmond upon Thames is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

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. It is battered and fried to order.

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

These are the factors that matter most:

  • How far we travel
  • Numbers
  • Your choice of menu
  • The date and time of year

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Where you’d like the van to go

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

Our booking checklist

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

How the day works

On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Lunchtime bookings in Richmond upon Thames are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  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. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
