Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Light in Afton Park lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Events in Afton Park and across the Isle of Wight
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Agree how the base is left
- Have a back-up for special diets
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Shooting in Afton Park: unit bases and access
Afton Park is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO40 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. We serve all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 18 miles away.
With the sea within about 2 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
This part of the Isle of Wight takes in PO40. That could mean a shoot at a home on Manor Road, Newport Road and Southdown Road, wherever the van can park. Close by, we cover shoots in Afton (1 mile west), Easton (1 mile west), Freshwater (1 mile north-west), Norton Green (1 mile north-west) and Colwell (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (9 miles east), Ryde (15 miles east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (15 miles east), Shanklin (15 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles south-east). Remote sites take a little more planning, so ask early about your shoot.
Nearby you’ll also find Medina (1.6 miles west) and Yarmouth Castle (2.2 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Afton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Local pubs include The Red Lion pub (0.7 miles north)
Afton Park questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Afton Park?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Do you come to Afton Park?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Afton Park is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van if needed
- The location’s agreement
- A clear route to base
For somewhere as remote as Afton Park, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
