For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
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.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for Ascott Earl

Is Ascott Earl too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
