Corporate fish and chip catering in South Croydon, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. We are frequently asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and lunch for site crews, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In South Croydon, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

South Croydon questions
What about parking in South Croydon?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Which station is closest to South Croydon?
Sanderstead station, in South Croydon itself.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Usually, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, South Croydon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- When final numbers are due
- How allergens are handled
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
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. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, which we agree with you beforehand. For an end-of-day event in South Croydon, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
