About our fish and chip van for events in Hunny Hill
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. Whether it is crew and volunteer catering and community open days, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and chips.
In Hunny Hill, one popular trader keeps it simple. A chip van does that. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Agree who removes waste
- Share pitch details
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Space for a queue away from paths
Hunny Hill is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What else we do in Hunny Hill
Running an event in Hunny Hill
Hunny Hill is about 1 mile north of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your event is in the middle of Hunny Hill or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 125 places across the Isle of Wight. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
An event in Seaclose Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, usually the council. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as The Man in the Moon, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. The coast is within about 4 miles of Hunny Hill, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
Here we cover the PO30, PO31 and PO41 postcode area. Local streets include Foxes Road, Chain Lane and Wilver Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. With the A3020 and A3054 close by, Hunny Hill is easy for us to reach with the van. For events just outside Hunny Hill, we cover Parkhurst (1 mile north), Forest Side (1 mile west), Noke Common (1 mile north), Northwood (3 miles north) and Porchfield (3 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (7 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (9 miles south-east) and East Cowes (3 miles north). Being one of the Isle of Wight’s larger places, Hunny Hill has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces. If your event is somewhere remote, let us know early and we will plan the trip.
Nearby you will also find Carisbrooke Castle (1.3 miles south-west) and Isle of Wight Music Museum (less than half a mile south-east). Open spaces near Hunny Hill include Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
- Nearby schools include Island Innovation VI Form Campus (0.6 miles south-east) and Carisbrooke College (0.8 miles south-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Man in the Moon pub (under half a mile south-east)
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hunny Hill?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer fêtes in Hunny Hill have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
