Corporate fish and chip catering in Russell Hill, fried fresh
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for end-of-project celebrations and fish Friday treats.
For offices in and around Russell Hill, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

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 are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Send round an allergy question
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Russell Hill: your questions answered
Could you trade in Duppas Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Russell Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Russell Hill 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’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. For a staff lunch in Russell Hill, daylight isn’t 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.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or SM6 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
