Corporate fish and chip catering in Selhurst

Corporate fish and chip catering in Selhurst, fried fresh

A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We’re frequently asked to cater customer days and charity days, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.

Around Selhurst, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Flag any coeliac staff
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Ask facilities about access

Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.

Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

A chip van compared with other options

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Why Selhurst hosts choose us

  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Bookings across Greater London, including Selhurst
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

What the van needs

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A short walk from the party

Selhurst is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Popular choices

How the day works

The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Lunchtime bookings in Selhurst are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies

A closer look at the menu

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Selhurst: your questions answered

What about parking in Selhurst?

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

Could you trade in South Norwood Recreation Ground?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What happens if it rains?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

What paperwork do you provide?

Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Is grass a problem?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Does the batter contain gluten?

No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.

How long are you on site?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
