About our corporate fish and chip catering in South Kensington
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. We’re often asked to cater staff appreciation days and customer days, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Around South Kensington, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

South Kensington questions
Could you trade in Burton’s Court?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about parking in South Kensington?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
South Kensington 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.

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

- A photo of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Lunchtime bookings in South Kensington are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

For event organisers in South Kensington
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
