Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Elmfield is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
Common questions in Elmfield
Can you serve near the sea around Elmfield?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
Do you cover Elmfield?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Elmfield. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Elmfield, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
