DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
FAQs for Wingham Well
What’s the nearest station to Wingham Well?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Is Wingham Well too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
