A chip van near Whetstone
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Whetstone
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater team away days and customer days.
For offices in and around Whetstone, the van typically parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Whetstone questions
Can the van park in Swan Lane Open Space?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Whetstone?
Oakleigh Park station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Whetstone?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
