Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Southborough

Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. We are frequently asked to cater lunch for site crews and charity days, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.

In Southborough, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Organising for someone else?

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

15 questions to ask before you book

Before you choose a spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

As a London location, Southborough 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 picture and we will tell you honestly.

Step by step

Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. A lunch-break van visit in Southborough is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
  2. You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
  3. We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
  4. On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning for dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Let us know about coeliac disease

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • The minimum booking
  • The date and time of year
  • Access and parking

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Expected numbers
  • Your date and serving time
  • A picture of the parking spot
