Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Noke Common
Do you come out to small places like Noke Common?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to Noke Common?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Noke Common and across the Isle of Wight. Send us your date to check availability.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
