Common questions in Wellow
Can you serve near the sea around Wellow?
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. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event typically works with traders, and we’ll find something that works.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. December events in Wellow lose the light at about 4:05pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
