Wedding fish and chip van in the Isle of Wight: what to expect

Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are often booked for barn weddings and coastal-themed receptions.

The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for.

We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.

What’s near Newport

You’ll find the van serving near Castle Inn, The Man in the Moon and Seaclose Park. Also close by are Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west), Island Innovation VI Form Campus (under half a mile south-east) and Nine Acres Primary School (under half a mile south). Nearby you will also find Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

Weddings across the Isle of Wight: venues and settings

With 102 villages and hamlets as well as Newport, Ryde and Cowes, the Isle of Wight has plenty of countryside wedding settings. Whatever you choose, we agree the van’s spot with your venue. 116 of the places we cover in the Isle of Wight are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about shelter for the queue.

Newport: Nearby historic houses include Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe House (2.5 miles south). Grand venues like these generally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before you book. For outdoor photos, Briddlesford Nature Reserve is close by, and the countryside around Newport suits an outdoor reception. For a summer wedding in Newport, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

Space, access and the venue

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:

A clear area by the serving hatch
Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Access wide and high enough for the van

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Don’t forget your suppliers
Talk to us about evening numbers
Plan bins by the hatch

Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.

A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Prices and what affects them

There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

Whether a minimum applies
Cod, haddock or both
The day of the week
Distance and any road charges

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

Allergies and diets you know about
Your date and serving time
Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
A picture of the parking spot

Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

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 cooks in front of your guests instead.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like.
