Where the van can park in Cowes
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your staff
Cowes is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Cowes, fried fresh
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. For lunch for site crews and celebrating a big win, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
For businesses in Cowes, a Friday lunch in the car park is an easy win, if the site agrees. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Consider a pre-order list
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

A chip van compared with other options
For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. After-work summer events in Cowes 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.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
Send us the date, the address or PO31 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
