Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No surprises in your quote
- Events in Skinner's Hill and across the Isle of Wight
- Something for staff to gather round

These are the factors that matter most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers

Skinner's Hill questions
Which station is closest to Skinner's Hill?
Sandown station, about 1.7 miles east of the centre.
Is Skinner's Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Skinner's Hill?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime bookings in Skinner's Hill 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.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
