About our corporate fish and chip catering in Shanklin Village

A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include retirement send-offs and charity and fundraising days at work, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.

For offices in and around Shanklin Village, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Common questions in Shanklin Village

What’s the nearest station to Shanklin Village?

Belmont station, in Shanklin Village itself.

Could you trade in Manor Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.

Do you have a kids’ option?

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

Do you fry it on site?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

How does payment work for businesses?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Where will the van go on our site?

That is up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.

Looking after everyone

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

  • Ask facilities about access
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Flag any coeliac staff

We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A short walk from the party
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

As a London location, Shanklin Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

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

What we serve

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

For planners, venues and organisers

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Prices and what affects them

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • The menu and how many choices
  • How long we serve
  • Parking and the way in
  • Whether a minimum applies

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • The date and time of the event
  • The venue or postcode
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What you get with us

  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.

  • 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
