Corporate fish and chip catering for South Ealing events

Corporate fish and chip catering in South Ealing, fried fresh

Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Typical bookings include workplace fundraising days and summer staff parties, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.

Around South Ealing, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

For event organisers in South Ealing

Organising a club, school or community event in South Ealing? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Prices and what affects them

We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • The length of service
  • The menu and how many choices
  • The day of the week
  • The number of meals

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What we need to know

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • The address or venue name
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • Your date and serving time

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Why choose a fish and chip van in South Ealing?

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Why book with us

  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • We cover South Ealing and the whole of Greater London
  • No kitchen needed

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

How the day works

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer events after work in South Ealing have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
  2. We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
  5. Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Make sure the van can get in

Common questions in South Ealing

Can the van park in Lammas Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.

What about parking in South Ealing?

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

How much is fish and chip van hire?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Can you cook in the rain?

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.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including South Ealing.

Where can the van park?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.

Who books corporate fish and chip catering in South Ealing?

  • Lunch for site crews

  • Exactly what’s included in the price

Choosing a fish and chip van

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

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 generally the easier option.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Planning the van’s spot

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

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

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

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