Fresh fish and chips in Swiss Cottage
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Swiss Cottage
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For warehouse, depot and site teams and celebrating a big win, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For offices in and around Swiss Cottage, the van typically parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask facilities about access
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Flag any coeliac staff
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Common questions in Swiss Cottage
Could you trade in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Swiss Cottage?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
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.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

What affects the price in Swiss Cottage
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Lunchtime staff treats in Swiss Cottage are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Make sure the van can get in

Planning help
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Swiss Cottage is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
