A chip van near Princelett
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Princelett, cooked to order
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. For charity days and lunch for site crews, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
Near Princelett, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Princelett for staff days and team lunches
Princelett is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. For staff events in Princelett, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Princelett. Princelett is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Princelett to Southampton (about 21 miles away).
For colleagues arriving by train, the closest railway station is Shanklin station, roughly 1.4 miles south-east of the centre. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
Staff events anywhere in PO36 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many staff. Neighbouring places where we serve staff events include Apse Heath (1 mile north-east), Branstone (1 mile north), Winford (1 mile north-east), Whiteley Bank (1 mile south-west) and Hale Common (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (5 miles north-west), Ryde (6 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Ventnor (3 miles south), East Cowes (8 miles north-west) and Oakfield (6 miles north-east). Remote sites take a little more planning, so ask early about your staff event.
Well-known places in the area include Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (1.4 miles south-east) and South Wight (3 miles south). The countryside around Princelett includes Alverstone Mead and Stenbury Down.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Princelett is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Lunchtime staff treats in Princelett are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Princelett questions
Can you serve near the sea around Princelett?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Princelett?
Shanklin station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
