Party fish and chip van for your party in Yarbridge
It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Popular choices include sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for retirement celebrations and reunions and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Yarbridge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van in Yarbridge
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Planning a party in Yarbridge
Yarbridge is about 2 miles north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your party is in the PO36 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We serve all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Brading station, roughly 0.5 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby historic houses include Morton Manor (less than half a mile west) and Yaverland Manor (0.7 miles south-east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. The coast is within about a mile, so a chip van is a natural choice.
We take the van to parties all over PO36 and the streets around it. From New Road, Morton Road and Church Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. You’ll find Yarbridge on the A3055, which makes the journey straightforward. Nearby, we also serve parties in Morton (1 mile south-west), Brading (1 mile north), Adgestone (1 mile west), Yaverland (1 mile south-east) and Sandown (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (7 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south-west), Ventnor (6 miles south-west) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.
Nearby you’ll also find Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (3.1 miles south-west) and Sandown Castle (1.2 miles south). Within reach you’ll find Brading Marshes RSPB reserve and Brading Down.
- Local schools include The Bay Church of England School (1.3 miles south-west) and Sandown Bay Academy (1.4 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Bugle Inn (0.5 miles north)
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For a late-May party in Yarbridge, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Common questions in Yarbridge
Can you serve near the sea around Yarbridge?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you serve after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

We cover London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. Find your area.

What affects the price in Yarbridge
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

It is worth telling the neighbours.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
For somewhere as remote as Yarbridge, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
