Fresh fish and chips in Enham Alamein
Wedding fish and chip van in Enham Alamein, cooked to order
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for day-after gatherings and garden and marquee receptions.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Enham Alamein, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?

Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
Read our prices page and the cost guide.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Enham Alamein
Do you come out to small places like Enham Alamein?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Saint George: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Typically most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Enham Alamein?
Yes, we do. Enham Alamein is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
For event organisers in Enham Alamein
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
