Bembridge in December: what to know
Bembridge is about 4 miles south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Bembridge as standard, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We cover all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Bembridge to Southampton (about 21 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Bembridge Methodist Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Bembridge Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Anywhere in PO35, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From High Street, Church Road and Station Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Foreland Fields (1 mile south-east), Hillway (1 mile south-west), St Helens (1 mile north-west), Gaskins (2 miles west) and Nettlestone (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (9 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north-west), Cowes (11 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles south-west), Shanklin (6 miles south-west) and Ventnor (8 miles south-west). Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
Other landmarks nearby include Lilliput Museum of Antique Dolls And Toys (2.6 miles west) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (5.5 miles south-west). The countryside around Bembridge includes Bembridge Down and Brading Marshes RSPB reserve.
