For event organisers in Elvendon
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Elvendon: your questions answered
Is Elvendon close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Elvendon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What happens on the day
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Elvendon are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

Before we arrive

Diets, allergies and planning
