Corporate fish and chip catering in Woodside Park

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Woodside Park

We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff appreciation days and fish Friday treats.

Around Woodside Park, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams usually need to approve the van, and access needs planning. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What you get with us

  • No kitchen needed
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Events in Woodside Park and across Greater London
  • A van that becomes part of the event

Read how we price and the cost guide.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Organising for someone else?

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

What affects the price in Woodside Park

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • The number of meals
  • Access and parking
  • Your choice of menu
  • How far we travel

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Details that help

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Your date and serving time
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Where the event is

Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.

Step by step

Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. A lunch-break van visit in Woodside Park is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Let us know the serving time
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Woodside Park questions

Could you trade in Swan Lane Open Space?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.

Which station is closest to Woodside Park?

The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 1.6 miles away.

What happens if it rains?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you come to Woodside Park?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Woodside Park and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Do you clear up afterwards?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.

  • 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
