Should I sort the food myself?

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.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Food your guests will love

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

What you get with us

  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a staff lunch in Wootton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help

Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Wootton?

It doesn’t need a meeting room, a kitchen or a restaurant booking, so it is simple to arrange.

A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Wootton book the van for events such as:

  • Charity and fundraising days at work
  • Staff appreciation days
  • Fish Friday treats
  • Project milestones

Historic houses near Wootton include Osborne House (2.2 miles north-west) and Arreton Manor (3.4 miles south). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for vehicles.

15 questions to ask before you book

Working with your venue

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Questions from Wootton

Can you serve near the sea around Wootton?

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

Which station is closest to Wootton?

Ryde Esplanade station, about 3.3 miles east of the centre.

Is the food cooked at the event?

It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

What will facilities need from you?

Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Is there a non-fish option?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

Can you cater for allergies?

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

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

What affects the price in Wootton

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • Your choice of menu
  • How long we serve
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Parking and the way in

Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

  • Where the van would park
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Confirm allergies by email

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
