Fresh fish and chips in Surrey Canal

Corporate fish and chip catering in Surrey Canal, fried fresh

A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for thank-you lunches for the team and customer days.

London work events in Surrey Canal often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

  • Give us break and shift times
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Ask staff to pre-order

Put bins near the hatch.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

How the day works

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Surrey Canal, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Why book our van in Surrey Canal

  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Events in Surrey Canal and across Greater London
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Classic food your staff already know

See our pricing and the cost guide.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

What the van needs

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Surrey Canal 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.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Popular choices

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Sausage and chips

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Surrey Canal

Could you trade in Deptford Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.

What’s the nearest station to Surrey Canal?

Surrey Canal has its own station: South Bermondsey station.

What food do you serve?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

What does the van need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

When do you arrive?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

What do we need to supply?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

Can the van come to Surrey Canal?

Yes, we do. We serve events in Surrey Canal and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
