Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Bonchurch is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. Lunchtime staff treats in Bonchurch are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive

FAQs for Bonchurch
Which station is closest to Bonchurch?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Is Bonchurch too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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 is crisp.
