The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What do we need to supply?
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 quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Of course. Just include them in your numbers.

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- Service time
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
