What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Godshill: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Godshill?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Godshill?
Shanklin station, about 3.5 miles east of the centre.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Have a back-up for special diets
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
