What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In December, it’s dark in Rew Street by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Rew Street

In a small place like Rew Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Rew Street in December: what to know
Rew Street is about 1 mile south-west of Cowes, in the Isle of Wight. For Christmas parties in Rew Street, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We serve 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 12 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as All Saints' Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
For Christmas parties in PO31, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Rew Street, Harness Lane and Westview Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Rew Street, we also cover Northwood (1 mile east), Gurnard (1 mile north-east), Cowes (1 mile north-east), Great Thorness (2 miles south-west) and Noke Common (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (4 miles south-east), Ryde (8 miles east), Sandown (10 miles south-east), Shanklin (10 miles south-east), Ventnor (12 miles south-east) and Oakfield (8 miles east). If your Christmas party is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
A little further out are St Mary's Hospital (2.8 miles south-east) and Isle of Wight Natural History Centre (1 mile east). Open spaces near Rew Street include Mill Hill.
- Nearby schools include Cowes Enterprise College (1.7 miles north-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Travellers Joy pub (0.6 miles south-east)

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

For event organisers in Rew Street
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Rew Street questions
Is Rew Street 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.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Contact us with the date.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
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 will tell you honestly what we can offer.
