FAQs for Wellow
Do you come out to small places like Wellow?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Wellow?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van come to Wellow?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Wellow is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen needed
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
