What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Lighting for early or late service
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
For somewhere as remote as Bierley, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Questions from Bierley
Do you come out to small places like Bierley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Bierley?
Shanklin station, about 5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. See all areas.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Long summer days in Bierley, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
