Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Wroxall
Do you trade at school fairs around Wroxall?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Wroxall?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you come to Wroxall?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Wroxall is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
