Bembridge questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to Bembridge?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van come to Bembridge?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bembridge and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.

What else we do in Bembridge
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Lunchtime staff treats in Bembridge are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

What the van needs

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
