Questions from Welling
Could you trade in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Welling?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A lit spot for evening service
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Close to the garden or entrance
As a London location, Welling is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Welling?
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Welling suit lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What affects the price in Welling
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
