- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
For somewhere as remote as Wellow, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Popular choices include gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for leaving parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers.

The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Wellow, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or PO41 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Who books party fish and chip van in Wellow?
It feels like a treat, and people talk about it afterwards.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Street parties and neighbourhood events
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Naming days and christenings
- Kids’ birthday parties
Historic houses near Wellow include Mottistone Manor (2.8 miles south) and Swainston Manor (3.2 miles east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.
Comparing caterers
- The deposit and payment dates
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether travel is included
- How late numbers can change
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time

Questions from Wellow
Do you come out to small places like Wellow?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Wellow Baptist Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can the van come to Wellow?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Wellow is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
