Fish and chip van for events in Well, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. Whether it is music and food festivals and fish and chip supper nights, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and chips.
A fête near Well might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
For event organisers in Well
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Well stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
