Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Brading
Is Brading too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Brading?
Brading has its own station: Brading station.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Brading.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Flag any coeliac crew
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A dining area at base helps.
Shooting in Brading: unit bases and access
Brading is about 3 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Brading is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover 125 places in the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
With the A3055 nearby, Brading is easy for the van and the trucks to reach. Nearby historic houses include Morton Manor (within half a mile south) and Nunwell House (0.7 miles north-west). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. With the sea within about 2 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.

Streets in the area include Station Road, High Street and Wrax Road, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles west), Ryde (3 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (4 miles south-west), Ventnor (6 miles south-west) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west).
