Work events near Freshwater might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Perfect for your staff event in Freshwater
It works across shifts, because service can be planned in waves.
In Freshwater and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

- Workplace fundraising days
- Customer days
- Team away days
Nearby historic houses include Mottistone Manor (4.6 miles south-east). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans.
Questions to ask before you book

- What they can offer for dietary needs
- A clear list of what’s included
- How much space the van takes up
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. A lunch-break van visit in Freshwater is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:05pm in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask facilities about access
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Freshwater?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Common questions in Freshwater
Can you serve near the sea around Freshwater?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Freshwater 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 you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
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.
