Elmstead questions
Which station is closest to Elmstead?
Elmstead Woods station, in Elmstead itself.
Is parking a problem for the van in Elmstead?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
