What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

How our film set catering works in Yaverland
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We are often asked to cater end-of-shoot parties and photo shoots, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Yaverland, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Yaverland for film and TV crews
Yaverland is about 4 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Bookings in Yaverland come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Yaverland is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Yaverland to Southampton (about 21 miles away).
Within reach of Yaverland are historic houses such as Yaverland Manor (0.5 miles north) and Morton Manor (0.9 miles north-west).

Anywhere in PO36, we can fry fresh for your crew. Local streets include Meadow Way, Yaverland Close and Yaverland Road; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (8 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south-west), Ventnor (6 miles south-west) and East Cowes (9 miles north-west). If your shoot is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.

Common questions in Yaverland
Do you come out to small places like Yaverland?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Yaverland?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Can the van come to base?
Typically, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Light near the van if needed
- Access checked by locations
- A queue area clear of trucks
Yaverland is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
