Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Gaskins
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. We are frequently asked to cater open days and staff thank-you lunches, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.

Staff lunches in Gaskins: access and travel
Gaskins is about 3 miles south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your staff event is in the middle of Gaskins or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight. We serve events right across the region, from Gaskins to Southampton (19 miles away).
Historic houses near Gaskins include Nunwell House (1.7 miles south-west) and Yaverland Manor (1.7 miles south). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles.

Questions from Gaskins
Can you serve near the sea around Gaskins?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to Gaskins?
Brading station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you come onto our site?
Normally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
What else we do in Gaskins
Organising for someone else?
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.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. A lunch-break van visit in Gaskins is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Ensure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day
