How our fish and chip van hire works in Wroxall
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Whether it is gatherings after a funeral and christmas parties, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips and more.
Somewhere as small as Wroxall, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who do not eat pork. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A clear quote before booking

How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. Light matters for evening service: in Wroxall, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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

Wroxall questions
Do you come out to small places like Wroxall?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
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 usually the easier option.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
For somewhere as remote as Wroxall, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
