Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Sydenham Hill
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it’s familiar and filling. We are often asked to cater project milestones and leaving dos, with pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For offices in and around Sydenham Hill, the van usually parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Sydenham Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Give us break and shift times
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
