Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Well Head
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. We’re frequently asked to cater seaside-themed weddings and day-after gatherings, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Well Head, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
For event organisers in Well Head
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Well Head questions
Is Well Head too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Well Head?
Adisham station, about 2 miles south-west of the centre.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
