Planning an event in Brook?
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Brook
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. For crew and volunteer catering and fish and chip supper nights, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Brook, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.

We cover all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Brook to Southampton (19 miles away).
With the sea within about 4 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- What’s available on the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
Brook is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
