Fish and chip van for events in Well Head
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Well Head
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Whether it is sports days and community open days, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
For a village fête or field event near Well Head, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Winter fairs in Well Head are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:45pm by late May.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help

A fish and chip van or other catering?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. 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.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A quote that spells everything out
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

See our pricing or the cost guide.
