Questions from Yaverland
Which station is closest to Yaverland?
Brading station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Yaverland?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Fish and chip van hire in Yaverland, fried fresh
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We are frequently asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and company team days, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a rural spot like Yaverland, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your event. Late September evenings in Yaverland lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
