The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Wroxall, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Count suppliers working late
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Questions from Wroxall
What’s the nearest station to Wroxall?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at St John's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
For somewhere as remote as Wroxall, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
