Staff lunches in Ryde: access and travel
Ryde is about 6 miles south of Gosport, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO33 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. Ryde is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 17 miles away.
Within reach of Ryde are historic houses such as Nunwell House (2.8 miles south) and Morton Manor (3.5 miles south). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles. By road, Ryde is on or near the A3054 and A3055, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van. Within about a mile of the sea, fish and chips goes down well with any team.
Anywhere in PO33, we can fry fresh for your staff, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your staff event is on High Street, St Thomas' Square and Market Street or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Main roads around Ryde include the A3054 and A3055, so getting the van to your staff event is simple. We also bring the van to staff events in Oakfield (1 mile south-east), Haylands (1 mile south-west), Elmfield (1 mile south-east), Appley (1 mile east) and Westridge (1 mile south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as 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). Ryde is one of the larger places we cover in the Isle of Wight, with plenty of venues for staff events. Some remote sites need extra planning, so ask early about your staff event.

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Ryde
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. For celebrating a big win and workplace fundraising days, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
Workplaces in Ryde range from offices to industrial units. A chip van feeds the team on site without anyone leaving. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Questions from Ryde
What’s the nearest station to Ryde?
Ryde St Johns Road station, in Ryde itself.
Can you serve near the sea around Ryde?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are normally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
What comes out of the fryer

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
For somewhere as remote as Ryde, early notice helps us plan the trip.
