Working with your venue

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Lunchtime staff treats in Foreland Fields are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture 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 staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Foreland Fields questions
Can you serve near the sea around Foreland Fields?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Foreland Fields?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can the van come to Foreland Fields?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Foreland Fields and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. Visitors love it.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.

- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Send round an allergy question
- Send allergies to us in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
