Corporate fish and chip catering in Ruislip Manor, fried fresh

A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for retirement send-offs and workplace fundraising days.

In Ruislip Manor, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Space, access and the venue

If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

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

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How the day works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Ruislip Manor, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Getting ready for the day

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Ensure the van can get in

The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • How many people are eating
  • Service time
  • How easy the site is to reach

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • The address or venue name
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The date and time of the event
  • A picture of where the van would go

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
