Book the van in Wellow
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Wellow
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We’re often asked to cater charity days and retirement and leaving lunches, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Wellow, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

Wellow questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Wellow?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
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. We set everything out in your quote.

To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For an end-of-day event in Wellow, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
