Hosting a chip van party in Noke Common
Noke Common is about 2 miles north of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Noke Common and nearby villages. Noke Common is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Noke Common to Southampton (about 14 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Noke Common are Carisbrooke Castle (2.3 miles south) and Osborne House (2.7 miles north-east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. After a christening at a church like Church of St. John the Baptist, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
For parties in PO30, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. We also bring the van to parties in Parkhurst (1 mile south-east), Forest Side (1 mile south-west), Hunny Hill (1 mile south), Northwood (2 miles north) and Rew Street (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (3 miles north), Sandown (8 miles south-east), Shanklin (8 miles south-east), Ventnor (10 miles south-east) and East Cowes (3 miles north-east). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Flag any coeliac guests
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Where the van can park in Noke Common
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
For somewhere as remote as Noke Common, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Noke Common
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips

Common questions in Noke Common
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you cover Noke Common?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Noke Common is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Autumn and winter parties in Noke Common get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Contact us 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
