Corporate fish and chip catering for South Bank events

Corporate fish and chip catering in South Bank, cooked to order

We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. For open days and workplace fundraising days, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.

In South Bank, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Perfect for your staff event in South Bank

It is hot food on site, whatever the weather, because the cooking is inside the van.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

  • Staff thank-you lunches
  • Team away days
  • Open days and customer events
  • Celebrating a big win

Nearby historic houses include Benjamin Franklin House (within half a mile north-west) and Marlborough House (0.8 miles west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans.

How to compare vans

South Bank questions

What about parking in South Bank?

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

Could you trade in Jubilee Gardens?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

How long will the queue be?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.

What do you bring?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Can the van come to South Bank?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including South Bank and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Planning the van’s spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

As a London location, South Bank is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What we serve

  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Sausage and chips
  • Staff lunches

Should I sort the food myself?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Why book our van in South Bank

  • We cover South Bank and the whole of Greater London
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • A quote that spells everything out

Read our prices page or the cost guide.

Step by step

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your staff event. For a staff lunch in South Bank, daylight is not 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.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will 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. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Service time
  • How far we travel
  • How many people are eating
  • Your choice of menu

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

What we need to know

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • The venue or postcode
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Ask facilities about access
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Share the shift pattern

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.
