Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer events after work in Elmer have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Elmer
Can you serve near the sea around Elmer?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Elmer close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Elmer.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Elmer?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
