Quick info
About The Yoda Food Van
Parked beside offices and passing traffic on Ash Ridge Rd, The Yoda Food Van is a roadside breakfast and takeaway van in Bristol whose signature baguettes come oversized, sized closer to two meals than one. Breakfast rolls and cooked breakfasts make up the mainstay of the menu, with loaded chips under cheese sauce and bacon bits among the later options. Everything is cooked fresh to order at the van rather than held ready in advance, so busy stretches bring a wait. Orders can be placed by phone ahead of time, including bulk orders for groups, and collection times are arranged in advance to line up with lunch breaks, so it helps to confirm your pickup slot when you call. There is no booking beyond that, and the hatch takes walk-ups as they arrive. Service runs Monday to Saturday during the daytime, with the van closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
The sheer size of the baguettes dominates the praise here, with one first time visitor calling it the biggest they had ever eaten and a French couple, self declared judges of sandwiches, saying it stretched to two meals and urging others to try one. Breakfast runs close behind: several single out generous, hot portions, one names the flaming hot burger as a spicy standout, and another calls it the best breakfast roll in the city. Loaded chips also come up, praised for crispy bacon bits though one reviewer found the cheese sauce heavy handed. Regulars describe food cooked fresh on the spot and friendly staff even at busy moments, with a few noting a wait they consider worthwhile, and one calling it towards the higher end for breakfast but worth every penny. The clearest complaint comes from a reviewer who ordered a sausage sandwich for a fixed lunchtime collection, received egg, found the order not ready, and was told they had asked for a later time. One group had sixteen breakfasts delivered on short notice after their kitchen failed.
