The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. An afternoon Christmas party in Ningwood can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there’s good light.

Common questions in Ningwood
Do you come out to small places like Ningwood?
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 Ningwood?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

It suits shift teams who cannot all go out together.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

Ningwood in December: what to know
Ningwood is about 6 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO41 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We serve 125 places in the Isle of Wight. Our bookings stretch from Ningwood to Southampton (16 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The coast is within about 5 miles of Ningwood, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Wherever your Christmas party is in PO41, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Newbridge (1 mile south-east), Wellow (1 mile west), Thorley Street (1 mile west), Shalcombe (2 miles south) and Calbourne (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (6 miles east), Ryde (12 miles east), Cowes (7 miles north-east), Sandown (12 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (12 miles south-east). Remote sites take a little more planning, so ask early about your Christmas party.
A little further out are St Mary's Hospital (5.9 miles east) and Yarmouth Castle (3.1 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Westover Down.
- Pubs nearby include New Inn (0.9 miles north-east)

Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Ningwood? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Ningwood is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
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.
- 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
