Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Permission for the van at base
For somewhere as remote as Yarmouth, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Crew catering near Yarmouth
Yarmouth is about 4 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Tell us where your shoot in Yarmouth will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We take the van to all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. We serve events right across the region, from Yarmouth to Southampton (15 miles away).
For crew arriving by train, Lymington Pier station, about 3.9 miles north, is the nearest station. Nearby historic houses include Mottistone Manor (4.8 miles south-east). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property. The coast is within about 3 miles of Yarmouth, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.
Here we cover the PO41 postcode area, so your shoot can be anywhere in it. We can serve a shoot on streets such as High Street, Station Road and Alma Place or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Yarmouth sits on or near the A3054, so getting the van to your shoot is simple. We also bring the van to shoots in Bouldnor (1 mile east), Cranmore (2 miles east), Hamstead (3 miles east), Shalfleet (3 miles east) and East End (5 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (9 miles east), Ryde (15 miles east), Cowes (9 miles north-east), Sandown (15 miles east), Shanklin (15 miles east) and Ventnor (15 miles south-east). If your shoot is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
A little further out are Yarmouth Castle (less than half a mile north-west) and Ferguson Family Museum (1.2 miles south-west). Open spaces near Yarmouth include Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Afton Down.
- Nearby, you’ll find Bugle Hotel (under half a mile north-west)
- Other local spots include Medina (2.4 miles south-west)

FAQs for Yarmouth
Is Yarmouth too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
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 to our wrap?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
