Fish and chip van for events in Welling, cooked to order
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. We are often asked to cater community open days and village fêtes, with chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
London street parties and fairs in Welling need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Welling questions
Which station is closest to Welling?
The closest is Welling station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Could you trade in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we will confirm.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For an evening event in Welling, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Welling is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
