Corporate fish and chip catering in Woodford Bridge

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

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

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Woodford Bridge

A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Whether it’s open days and summer staff parties, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.

For offices in and around Woodford Bridge, the van normally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
  • Give us break and shift times

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Where the van can park in Woodford Bridge

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A short walk from the party

As a London location, Woodford Bridge 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 photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

How it works

The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Woodford Bridge is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Woodford Bridge questions

Is parking a problem for the van in Woodford Bridge?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Could you trade in Linder's Field?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.

What happens if it rains?

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Do you bring everything you need?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Do you serve visitors at events?

We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.

Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
