About our corporate fish and chip catering in Underhill
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We are often asked to cater fish Friday treats and staff thank-you lunches, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Around Underhill, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Underhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

Should I sort the food myself?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

What affects the price in Underhill
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Common questions in Underhill
What’s the nearest station to Underhill?
New Barnet station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
Can the van park in Highlands Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Where will the van go on our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can the van come to Underhill?
Yes, we do. Underhill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
