Food your guests will love
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.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- No kitchen needed
- We cover Whiteley Bank and the whole of the Isle of Wight

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Keep the queue dry
- Agree the spot with the venue
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.

What else we do in Whiteley Bank
Whiteley Bank questions
Can you serve near the sea around Whiteley Bank?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Whiteley Bank 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.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
