Fish and chip van hire for Chilton Green events
Fish and chip van hire in Chilton Green, fried fresh
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and weddings, especially the evening, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In a hamlet or village like Chilton Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Chilton Green: venues, parking and local tips
Chilton Green is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Bookings in Chilton Green come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Chilton Green is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
If you are gathering after a service at a church like St Peter and St Paul's Church, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. PTAs at schools such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Chilton Green is within about 6 miles of the sea, so fish and chips feels right at home here. Sea breezes can be strong, so we think about where the queue will stand.
We serve events across PO30 and the streets around it. Nearby, we also serve events in Marsh Green (1 mile south-east), Hulverstone (1 mile north-west), Brookgreen (1 mile west), Brook (2 miles north-west) and Dunsbury (2 miles north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles north-east), Ryde (12 miles north-east), Cowes (9 miles north-east), Sandown (11 miles east), Shanklin (10 miles east) and Ventnor (10 miles east).

Chilton Green questions
Is Chilton Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Chilton Green?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you come to Chilton Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Chilton Green and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is it a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
