A fish and chip van across PO36: what to know
From Sandown, Shanklin and Lake to 16 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO36 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Around 19 places in PO36 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue.
Sandown: Among the historic houses close to Sandown are Morton Manor (1.5 miles north-east) and Yaverland Manor (1.7 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. If guests are travelling by rail, Sandown station is in Sandown itself. Light matters for evening service: around Sandown, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Events we cater in PO36
Fish and chips suits nearly every crowd, from children to grandparents. The queue at the hatch gets people talking.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Wakes and celebrations of life
- Evening wedding food
- Birthday celebrations
- Staff lunches and team days
For event organisers in PO36
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
