FAQs for Well
How far is Well from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Lord Wandsworth College Chapel: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Well
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is usually somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include engagement celebrations and barn weddings, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Well often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A spot near your guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
