About our party fish and chip van in Morton
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. For family celebrations after a christening and get-togethers with old friends, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Morton, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your party, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Questions from Morton
Which station is closest to Morton?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Morton?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What do you need at the house?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your party in Morton. In Morton, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Morton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Morton
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
