Fresh fish and chips in Fishbourne
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:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
For somewhere as remote as Fishbourne, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Fishbourne

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
What affects the price in Fishbourne
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Common questions in Fishbourne
What’s the nearest station to Fishbourne?
The closest is Ryde Esplanade station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. For a staff lunch in Fishbourne, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
