Bembridge: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Bembridge?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Bembridge?
Brading station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. For a summer wedding in Bembridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
