Fish and chip van hire in Bembridge, cooked to order
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for staff lunches and team days and evening wedding food.
There may be a hall or club near Bembridge if the drive is small; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
Bembridge is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Numbers
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Bringing the van to Bembridge
Bembridge is about 4 miles south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We serve events at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Bembridge. We take the van to 125 places in the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 21 miles away.
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Bembridge Methodist Church, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Bembridge Church of England Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Bembridge is within about 4 miles of the sea, so fish and chips feels right at home here. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Here we cover the PO35 postcode area. Streets in the area include High Street, Church Road and Station Road, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Bembridge, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
Getting a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
