Corporate fish and chip catering in Royal Docks, cooked to order

Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Whether it is shift teams at depots and warehouses and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.

In Royal Docks, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Common questions in Royal Docks

Which station is closest to Royal Docks?

The closest is Custom House station, roughly 0.7 miles away.

What about parking in Royal Docks?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

What paperwork do you provide?

Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

What the van needs

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

As a London location, Royal Docks 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 will advise before you book.

From the hatch

  • Sausage and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

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

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Why us?

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Hot food handed straight over
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

See our pricing or the cost guide.

How to compare vans

Step by step

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a staff lunch in Royal Docks, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Let us know the serving time

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • The day of the week
  • The number of meals
  • Access and parking
  • Cod, haddock or both

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Details that help

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The venue or postcode
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
