Fish and chip van hire for Well events
Fish and chip van hire in Well, fried fresh
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for birthday celebrations and company team days.
In a small place like Well, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

- The spot you have in mind for the van

- The date and time of the event

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Well questions
Is Well close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Is Well too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do you come to Well?
We do. Well is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your event. Light matters for evening service: in Well, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
