Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Ventnor is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a late-May party in Ventnor, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture 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
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand

How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do street parties?

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Show us where the van would go
- Make sure the van can park legally
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.

We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Ventnor to Southampton (about 24 miles away).
No room for the van at home? A club or hall car park near Ventnor frequently works. Nearby historic houses include Rylstone Manor (2.6 miles north-east) and Haseley Manor (5 miles north). 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 a mile, so a chip van is a natural choice.
Wherever your party is in PO38, we can bring the van to you. Your party could be at a house on Old Station Road, Market Street and High Street or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Ventnor is on the A3055 and B3327, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
