Corporate fish and chip catering in Waddon, cooked to order

Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We are frequently asked to cater fish Friday treats and end-of-project celebrations, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.

London work events in Waddon often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Tell us about site access and parking. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Before you choose a spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

Waddon is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What we serve

  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Sausage and chips

Looking after everyone

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Send allergies to us in writing

Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.

A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Waddon?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Why Waddon hosts choose us

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Events in Waddon and across Greater London
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Takeaway run or book a van?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • Parking and the way in
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The menu and how many choices
  • The number of meals

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Where the event is
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Where the van would park
  • A picture of the parking spot

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Waddon

What about parking in Waddon?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Could you trade in Duppas Hill?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.

Can we pay by invoice?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Do you do customer events and open days?

Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.

Can the van park on the street?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

What about staff who do not eat fish?

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Can you come onto our site?

Normally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

How the day works

Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Waddon, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a 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.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

How to get a price
