Book the van in Upminster Bridge

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Upminster Bridge

We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. Typical bookings include retirement send-offs and summer staff parties, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.

Around Upminster Bridge, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams normally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Before you choose a 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:

  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

As a London location, Upminster Bridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How the day works

Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events after work in Upminster Bridge have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Name one person we can call on the day

How to compare vans

Planners, venues and businesses

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

A closer look at the menu

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

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 cooks in front of your staff instead.

What affects the price in Upminster Bridge

We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The length of service
  • The day of the week
  • Numbers

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • A picture of the parking spot
  • The address or venue name
