Questions from Shide
Can you serve near the sea around Shide?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Could you trade in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you come to Shide?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Shide is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Lunchtime bookings in Shide are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Where the van can park in Shide
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Shide is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
