Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- December Fridays go first: book early
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

Cranmore questions
Do you come out to small places like Cranmore?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Cranmore?
Lymington Pier station, about 4.9 miles north-west of the centre.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you cover Cranmore?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Cranmore and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening generally works best. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For something other than turkey, a fish and chip van is a great choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
