Other occasions in Wingham Well
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Questions from Wingham Well
Is Wingham Well too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Wingham Well close to London?

How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?

Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
For warm food after a funeral, fish and chips from a van works well in Wingham Well. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A wake in Wingham Well in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
