Staff lunches in Oakfield: access and travel
Oakfield is about 6 miles south-west of Southsea, in the Isle of Wight. We take a fish and chip van for your team to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Oakfield. Oakfield is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Oakfield to Southampton (about 17 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Nunwell House (2.6 miles south) and Morton Manor (3.2 miles south). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for vehicles. For staff and visitors coming by train, Oakfield has its own station, Ryde St Johns Road station. The coast is within about a mile, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
Staff events anywhere in PO33 start with a parking spot for the van. We can serve a staff event on streets such as Park Road, Rink Road and Hope Road, wherever the van can park. With the A3055 close by, Oakfield is simple for us to get to with the van. Close by, we cover staff events in Elmfield (1 mile east), Ryde (1 mile north-west), Appley (1 mile north-east), Westridge (1 mile south-east) and Haylands (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (6 miles west), Cowes (7 miles west), Sandown (5 miles south), Shanklin (6 miles south), Ventnor (9 miles south) and East Cowes (6 miles west). Oakfield is one of the larger places we cover in the Isle of Wight, with lots of choice for staff events. For a staff event at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Oakfield
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include summer team days and a monthly Fish Friday, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For businesses around Oakfield, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

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.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: 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.
Oakfield: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to Oakfield?
Ryde St Johns Road station, in Oakfield itself.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
