Questions from St Lawrence
What’s the nearest station to St Lawrence?
Shanklin station, about 4.1 miles north-east of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you come to St Lawrence?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including St Lawrence and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Corporate fish and chip catering in St Lawrence, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. We are frequently asked to cater open days and a monthly Fish Friday, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around St Lawrence can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Collect allergies in advance
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your staff event. A lunch-break van visit in St Lawrence is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
For somewhere as remote as St Lawrence, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
What affects the price in St Lawrence
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Send us the date, the address or PO38 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
