Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.

Wedding fish and chip van in Yaverland, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for laid-back receptions and vow renewal parties.
Rural weddings around Yaverland have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Where the van can park in Yaverland
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
For somewhere as remote as Yaverland, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

FAQs for Yaverland
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Baptist Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you serve near the sea around Yaverland?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

Do you take everything away?

Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening food at a Yaverland wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
