Common questions in Bouldnor
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Swithin (old)?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, typically. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you come to Bouldnor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Bouldnor is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, use our quote form.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Bouldnor parties: what to know
Bouldnor is about 5 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. People in Bouldnor 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. Bouldnor is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Bouldnor to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Lymington Pier station, roughly 4.2 miles north-west of the centre. A christening at Church of St Swithin (old) followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
For parties in PO41, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Local streets include The Vineyard, Port La Salle and Waters Edge; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Bouldnor, we also cover Yarmouth (1 mile west), Cranmore (1 mile east), Hamstead (2 miles north-east), Shalfleet (3 miles east) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Newport (8 miles east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (14 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles south-east). If your party is somewhere remote, let us know early and we’ll plan the trip.

How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Autumn and winter parties in Bouldnor get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:05pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- 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
