Corporate fish and chip catering in Sandown, fried fresh

We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will go through what your site needs from us. For warehouse, depot and site teams and project milestones, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

Around Sandown, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Sandown

What about events near the coast?

Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

What’s the nearest station to Sandown?

Sandown has its own station: Sandown station.

Do you bring everything you need?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Can you serve children?

Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Do we need to provide anything?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

What you get with us

  • Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • A van that becomes part of the event

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Put allergy details in writing

When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

For event organisers in Sandown

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Before you choose a spot

If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • A clear area by the serving hatch

For somewhere as remote as Sandown, early notice helps us plan the trip.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

From the hatch

  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips

The process

Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Sandown, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
  2. We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
  3. We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Have a level parking spot ready
