Fresh fish and chips in Warden
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Warden
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We are frequently asked to cater shift teams at depots and warehouses and staff appreciation days, with cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Warden, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Warden is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in

Common questions in Warden
Is Warden too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Warden from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you come to Warden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Warden. To check your date, use our quote form.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

A chip van compared with other options
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
