Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Waterside

Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for a monthly Fish Friday and charity days.

Near Waterside, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Space, access and the venue

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

On the menu in Waterside

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. After-work summer events in Waterside have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Planning help

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Service time
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The menu and how many choices

The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Details that help

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Where the event is
  • The date and time of the event
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Roughly how many people, including children

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Waterside questions

Is Waterside close to London?

Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Can we pay by invoice?

We’ll explain how it works when we quote.

Do you have allergen information?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Can you come onto our site?

Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Waterside?

Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Why book our van in Waterside

  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

Take a look at how we price or our guide to van hire costs.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies

We can serve each shift in turn.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Should I sort the food myself?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

For event organisers in Waterside

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
