About fish and chip van for events in the Isle of Wight

The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We are often asked to cater summer fairs and feeding event crew, with chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time.

First, the plan: what, where and what time.
We come back with availability and a clear price.
We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Prices in the Isle of Wight

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Why book our van

Getting a price

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

What’s near Newport

Locally, our bookings take us close to Castle Inn, The Man in the Moon and Seaclose Park and the streets around them. Nearby too are Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west), Island Innovation VI Form Campus (under half a mile south-east) and Nine Acres Primary School (less than half a mile south). A little further out are Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). Open spaces near Newport include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

Community events across the Isle of Wight

In the Isle of Wight’s villages, events may have limited power and water, and town events in Newport, Ryde and Cowes need quick service for bigger crowds. The van does both. Around 116 places in the Isle of Wight are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Newport: A school like Nine Acres Primary School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. Running a fête for a church like The Man in the Moon? A chip van draws people in. For an evening event in Newport, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

What the van needs

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

Confirmation the van can trade there
A clear route onto the pitch
Details of any power or water on site

For planners, venues and organisers

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

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.

About the food

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
