About our corporate fish and chip catering in Branstone
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. For customer days and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Branstone can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Classic food your staff already know
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Bookings across the Isle of Wight, including Branstone
Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Branstone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. After-work summer events in Branstone have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Branstone
Can you serve near the sea around Branstone?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Branstone?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
