The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For a staff lunch in Shacklewell, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Shacklewell
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include team away days and staff appreciation days, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Shacklewell, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams normally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- Access and parking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- A photo of the parking spot
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

Shacklewell: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Shacklewell?
Rectory Road station, in Shacklewell itself.
Is parking a problem for the van in Shacklewell?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you come onto our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Where the van can park in Shacklewell
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A spot near your staff
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Shacklewell 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.
