Corporate fish and chip catering for Sidcup events

Corporate fish and chip catering in Sidcup, fried fresh

Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for a monthly Fish Friday and retirement and leaving lunches.

In Sidcup, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

What a fish and chip van costs

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • Numbers
  • The minimum booking
  • Your choice of menu

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Getting an accurate quote

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The venue or postcode
  • The date and time of the event

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Step by step

Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A lunch-break van visit in Sidcup is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Sidcup for staff days and team lunches

Sidcup is about 3 miles north of Orpington, in Greater London. For staff events in Sidcup, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Sidcup to London (about 10 miles away).

Nearby historic houses include Danson House (1.7 miles north) and Red House (1.9 miles north-east). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. With the A211 and A2001 nearby, access for the van is straightforward. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.

Wherever your staff event is in DA14, DA15, SE9 and DA5, we can bring the van to you. Streets in the area include Station Road, High Street and Jubilee Way, and the van can serve a staff event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Sidcup sits on or near the A211 and A2001, which makes travel to your staff event easy.

Why Sidcup hosts choose us

  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • We cover Sidcup and the whole of Greater London
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Allergies and dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Ask staff to pre-order

We can serve each shift in turn.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Sidcup

What about parking in Sidcup?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Do you have documents for our site?

Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

Do you bring everything you need?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Our booking checklist

Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Planning the van’s spot

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

Sidcup is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

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