What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van after dark
- With the serving side away from windows
- Not blocking ambulance bays
Wroxall is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Wroxall suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

What’s the nearest station to Wroxall?
