Hosting a chip van party in Rookley Green
Rookley Green is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Parties in Rookley Green are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to 125 places in the Isle of Wight. We serve events right across the region, from Rookley Green to Southampton (19 miles away).
Within reach of Rookley Green are historic houses such as Sheat Manor (1.1 miles north-west) and Gatcombe House (1.3 miles north-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
Wherever your party is in PO38, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your party is on Niton Road and Harts Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Close by, we cover parties in Rookley (1 mile north), Godshill (1 mile south-east), Merstone (1 mile north-east), Blackwater (2 miles north) and Sandford (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Newport (3 miles north), Ryde (7 miles north-east), Cowes (8 miles north), Sandown (5 miles east), Shanklin (5 miles east) and Ventnor (5 miles south-east). Remote sites take a little more planning, so ask early about your party.
A little further out are Isle of Wight Glass Museum (2.5 miles north-east) and Whitecroft Hospital (1.8 miles north-west). The countryside around Rookley Green includes Stenbury Down and Alverstone Mead.
- Nearby, you will find Chequers Inn (within half a mile south)

Common questions in Rookley Green
Can you serve near the sea around Rookley Green?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Rookley Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you come to Rookley Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Rookley Green is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
For a relaxed celebration, a chip van is hard to beat. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Autumn and winter parties in Rookley Green get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time

Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
