About our corporate fish and chip catering in Wellhouse
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater summer team days and open days.
At country workplaces around Wellhouse, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Wellhouse questions
How far is Wellhouse from London?
About 50 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Wellhouse?
Thatcham station, about 3.9 miles south of the centre.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wellhouse.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a staff lunch in Wellhouse, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wellhouse?
