Corporate fish and chip catering for Waterloo events

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Waterloo

It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and leaving dos.

For offices in and around Waterloo, the van normally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

What affects the price in Waterloo

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Parking and the way in
  • How long we serve
  • Cod, haddock or both

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Details that help

  • Where the van would park
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The date and time of the event

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Within reach of Waterloo are historic houses such as Benjamin Franklin House (0.7 miles north-west) and Dr Johnson's House (1 mile north). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.

How to compare vans

Space, access and the venue

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • A spot near your staff
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

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

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Popular choices

  • Staff lunches
  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Pie and chips

Which station is closest to Waterloo?

London Waterloo station, in Waterloo itself.

How does payment work for businesses?

We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

What paperwork do you provide?

Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

About the food

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.

Should I sort the food myself?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Waterloo. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Why book with us

  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • A clear quote before you book

See our pricing and the cost guide.

What happens on the day

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For a staff lunch in Waterloo, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

How to get a price
