About our corporate fish and chip catering in Upper Norwood
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. We’re often asked to cater customer days and project milestones, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In Upper Norwood, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, Upper Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Upper Norwood
What about parking in Upper Norwood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Long Meadow?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
