About our corporate fish and chip catering in The Burroughs

Questions from The Burroughs
Is parking a problem for the van in The Burroughs?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What’s the nearest station to The Burroughs?
Hendon station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will talk you through booking and payment.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, The Burroughs is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why book with us

- Hot food handed straight over
