How our wedding fish and chip van works in Yarbridge
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and vow renewal parties, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Yarbridge, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Nearby historic houses include Morton Manor (less than half a mile west) and Yaverland Manor (0.7 miles south-east). Grand venues like these usually set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. It’s worth telling train travellers that Brading station, about 0.5 miles north-east, is the nearest station.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
For somewhere as remote as Yarbridge, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Yarbridge questions
What’s the nearest station to Yarbridge?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can the van come to Yarbridge?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Yarbridge and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
