How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Moortown
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-year customer events and work Christmas parties.
In winter near Moortown, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Moortown
Is Moortown too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Planning a Christmas party in Moortown
Moortown is about 6 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Tell us where your Christmas party in Moortown will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Moortown is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our bookings stretch from Moortown to Southampton (about 19 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
We serve Christmas parties across the PO30 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Main Road, Moor Lane and Upper Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Other places close to Moortown we cover include Brighstone (1 mile south), Thorncross (1 mile south-east), Shorwell (2 miles east), Little Atherfield (3 miles south-east) and Atherfield Green (3 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Newport (6 miles north-east), Ryde (12 miles north-east), Cowes (9 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles east), Shanklin (10 miles east) and Ventnor (9 miles south-east). If your Christmas party is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
A little further out are Brighstone Village Museum (under half a mile south) and Whitecroft Hospital (4.5 miles east). Open spaces near Moortown include Brighstone Down.
- Pubs nearby include The Three Bishops pub (under half a mile south)
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In December, it’s dark in Moortown by about 4:05pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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 your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Moortown is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A van that becomes part of the event

Other occasions in Moortown
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Keep the queue dry
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
