Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Light near the van after dark
- A route in without tight gates
Bembridge is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For a summer visit in Bembridge, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a treat residents will talk about, a chip van visit is hard to beat in Bembridge. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- All the chip-shop extras
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Bembridge
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

The closest is Brading station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What can residents choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will plan portions with the home.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Which areas do you serve?
