Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Well Hall 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 will say what we think before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

FAQs for Well Hall
Can the van park in Eltham Common?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at St Barnabas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you feed a lot of people?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Around midsummer it stays light in Well Hall until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
