Christmas parties in Locksgreen: local tips
Locksgreen is about 3 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. For a Christmas party in Locksgreen, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Locksgreen is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Locksgreen to Southampton (about 14 miles away).
With the sea within about 5 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

If your venue is just outside Locksgreen, we also cover Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Newtown (1 mile west), Great Thorness (1 mile north-east), Forest Side (2 miles east) and Noke Common (3 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (3 miles east), Ryde (9 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles south-east), Shanklin (10 miles south-east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east).

Locksgreen: your questions answered
Is Locksgreen 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.
Can you serve near the sea around Locksgreen?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you cover Locksgreen?
We do. We serve events in Locksgreen and across the Isle of Wight. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your guests
Locksgreen is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

- December Fridays go first: book early
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Plan lighting near the hatch
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Festive lights by the van look great.
