Fish and chip van hire for your event in Morton

Morton questions
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Morton?
Brading station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
For somewhere as remote as Morton, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Bringing the van to Morton
Morton is about 1 mile north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. People in Morton book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Morton is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
Churches such as St. Mary's Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Brading station, roughly 0.6 miles north-east of the centre. The coast is within about a mile of Morton, so fish and chips feels right at home here. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.
We take the van to events all over the PO36 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include New Road, Wrax Road and Morton Road, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Main roads around Morton include the A3055, which makes travel to your event easy. Nearby, we also serve events in Yarbridge (1 mile north-east), Brading (1 mile north-east), Adgestone (1 mile west), Yaverland (1 mile south-east) and Sandown (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south-west), Ventnor (6 miles south-west) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west). Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
Other landmarks nearby include Sandown Castle (1.1 miles south) and Brading Waxworks (0.5 miles north). The countryside around Morton includes Brading Marshes RSPB reserve and Brading Down.
- Local schools include The Bay Church of England School (1.2 miles south-west) and Sandown Bay Academy (1.3 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include The Bugle Inn (0.6 miles north)
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Plan bins near the queue
After service, we pack up.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

What else we do in Morton
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Around midsummer it stays light in Morton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
