How our wedding fish and chip van works in Elmer
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it’s pre-wedding get-togethers and vow renewal parties, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
For a smaller place like Elmer, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

What affects the price in Elmer
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In Elmer, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
