What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How far we travel
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Upton, fried fresh
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will go through what your site needs from us. We are often asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and shift teams at depots and warehouses, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In Upton, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Upton
Could you trade in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Upton?
Forest Gate station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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 you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Lunchtime staff treats in Upton are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

What else we do in Upton
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Upton 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 you book.
