About our corporate fish and chip catering in West Hampstead
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and end-of-project celebrations.
In West Hampstead, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask facilities about access
- Share the shift pattern
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Consider a pre-order list
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in West Hampstead
What about parking in West Hampstead?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Kilburn Grange Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
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.

Cod and chips

Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your staff
As a London location, West Hampstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.
