Questions from Yarmouth
What’s the nearest station to Yarmouth?
The closest is Lymington Pier station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Yarmouth?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
Do you cover Yarmouth?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Yarmouth is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Yarmouth is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 4:05pm, suit lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
