For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
For somewhere as remote as Arreton, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Midsummer parties in Arreton stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Planning a party in Arreton
Arreton is about 3 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your party is in the middle of Arreton or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Arreton is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Arreton to Southampton (about 18 miles away).
A christening at St. George's Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. If guests are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Sandown station, roughly 3.4 miles east of the centre. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside.
Parties anywhere in PO30 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. That could mean a party at a home on Cherrywood View, Hopkins Walk and Hazely Combe or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside Arreton, we also cover Merstone (1 mile south-west), Downend (1 mile north), Hale Common (1 mile south), Newchurch (1 mile south-east) and Branstone (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (3 miles north-west), Ryde (5 miles north-east), Cowes (7 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles east), Shanklin (4 miles south-east) and Ventnor (5 miles south). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.
A little further out are Museum of Country And Agriculture (0.5 miles south-east) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.5 miles west). The countryside around Arreton includes Alverstone Mead and Brading Down.
- Local pubs include The White Lion pub (0.5 miles north-west)
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
