- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the shift pattern
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Sandford?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book our van in Sandford
- Events in Sandford and across the Isle of Wight
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Sandford is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
