Well Hall: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Well Hall?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Could you trade in Eltham Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you come to Well Hall?
Yes, we do. Well Hall is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Well Hall?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

What the van needs

- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Well Hall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Keep the queue dry
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
