St John's Wood for staff days and team lunches
St John's Wood is about 1 mile south of Hampstead, in Greater London. St John's Wood is well within our area, so your staff event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We cover 764 places in Greater London.
The A5205 put St John's Wood within easy reach for the van. Nearby historic houses include Winfield House (0.6 miles south-east) and Keats House (1.4 miles north). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.
Wherever your staff event is in NW8, NW6 and NW3, we can fry fresh for your staff. We can serve a staff event on streets such as The Lane, Hall Road and Hill Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in St John's Wood
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for workplace fundraising days and open days.
In St John's Wood, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Send allergies to us in writing
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat in St John's Wood. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Common questions in St John's Wood
Which station is closest to St John's Wood?
South Hampstead station, in St John's Wood itself.
Could you trade in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
St John's Wood 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
