Shanklin: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Shanklin?
Shanklin station, in Shanklin itself.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
