About our Christmas party fish and chips in Bierley
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. For work Christmas parties and end-of-year club parties, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
In winter near Bierley, we need firm ground and light. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Agree the spot with the venue
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Bierley in December: what to know
Bierley is about 5 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your Christmas party is in the PO38 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. Bierley is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 23 miles away.
Train travellers will want to know that Shanklin station is about 5 miles away. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Niton Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The coast is within about 4 miles of Bierley, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Wherever your Christmas party is in PO38, we can bring the van to you. If your venue is just outside Bierley, we also cover Southford (1 mile north-east), Nettlecombe (1 mile east), Godshill (3 miles north), Wroxall (3 miles north-east) and Sandford (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (10 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (6 miles north-east), Shanklin (5 miles north-east) and Ventnor (3 miles east). For a Christmas party at a remote spot, let us know early and we will plan the trip.
Well-known places in the area include Blackgang Sawmill Museum (1.6 miles south-west) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (5 miles north-east). The countryside around Bierley includes Stenbury Down.
- Pubs nearby include The White Horse Inn (0.7 miles east)

FAQs for Bierley
Is Bierley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Bierley?
Shanklin station, about 5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Bierley, so put the van where there is good light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
