Corporate fish and chip catering for Rowly events
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Rowly
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. We’re often asked to cater workplace fundraising days and summer team days, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Near Rowly, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Rowly
Which station is closest to Rowly?

Is Rowly close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have documents for our site?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Rowly?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Rowly. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Rowly is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

The menu, dish by dish
