A closer look at the menu

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Rotherhithe, fried fresh

A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Typical bookings include thank-you lunches for the team and project milestones, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.

In Rotherhithe, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Organising for someone else?

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

How the day works

There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. A lunch-break van visit in Rotherhithe is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • The day of the week
  • Distance and any road charges
  • How many people are eating
  • Any minimum charge

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The spot you have in mind for the van

To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Rotherhithe, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

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

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Why book our van in Rotherhithe

  • Something for staff to gather round

Looking after everyone

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Find out what documents the site needs

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.

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