Corporate fish and chip catering in Stepney
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Stepney
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. We’re frequently asked to cater friday lunch treats and staff thank-you lunches, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Stepney, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Share the shift pattern
We can serve each shift in turn.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Where the van can park in Stepney
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Stepney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning a team lunch in Stepney
Stepney is about 2 miles south of Hackney, in Greater London. Whether your staff event is in the middle of Stepney or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Stepney is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Whitechapel station is in Stepney itself. The A11 and B120 put Stepney within easy reach for the van.
Wherever your staff event is in E1 and E2, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Beaumont Square, Rectory Square and Carlton Square or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. Stepney is on the A11 and B120, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. For staff events just outside Stepney, we cover East End of London (1 mile south-west), Ratcliff (1 mile south), Bethnal Green (1 mile north-west), Whitechapel (1 mile west) and Limehouse (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (4 miles west), Marylebone (4 miles west), Kensington (7 miles west), St Pancras (3 miles west), Walthamstow (5 miles north) and Hampstead (6 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find Young V&A (0.6 miles north) and The Royal London Hospital (less than half a mile west). Open spaces near Stepney include St. James's Park Lake and Lavender Pond.
- Local schools include Stepney Jewish School (less than half a mile south-east) and Stepney Green Mathematics and Computing College (under half a mile south-east)
- Pubs nearby include Black Horse Public House (within half a mile north-east)
- Local facilities include Holy Trinity (less than half a mile north-east) and Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives (1.2 miles west)
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Stepney questions
Which station is closest to Stepney?
Whitechapel station, in Stepney itself.
Is parking a problem for the van in Stepney?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards normally work well.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
