How our corporate fish and chip catering works in The Hyde
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for workplace fundraising days and staff thank-you lunches.
In The Hyde, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, The Hyde is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. For an end-of-day event in The Hyde, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Why book our van in The Hyde
