Fresh fish and chips in Spitalfields
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Spitalfields
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We’re often asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and friday lunch treats, with mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Spitalfields, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams normally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Common questions in Spitalfields
What about parking in Spitalfields?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. Visitors love it.
Working with your venue
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.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
