Fish and chip van hire across PO35
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and weddings, especially the evening, serving sausage and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Pricing in PO35
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Chip van hire across PO35
PO35 covers everything from Bembridge, Foreland Fields and Hillway to 2 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. 3 of the places we cover in PO35 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Bembridge: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Bembridge Church of England Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Among the historic houses close to Bembridge are Yaverland Manor (2.4 miles south-west) and Morton Manor (2.9 miles west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before you book. Evenings in Bembridge stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot.
Comparing caterers
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- A clear list of what’s included
- VAT, if it applies
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
A short menu keeps service quick.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
