Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in South Hampstead
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and celebrating a big win.
Around South Hampstead, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Questions from South Hampstead
Is parking a problem for the van in South Hampstead?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to South Hampstead?
South Hampstead has its own station: South Hampstead station.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
South Hampstead 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
