A chip van near Foreland Fields
Questions from Foreland Fields
What’s the nearest station to Foreland Fields?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Foreland Fields?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van come to base?
Normally, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.

The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In December, daylight in Foreland Fields ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or PO35 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
