Questions from Ashfield
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Ashfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before booking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
Care home fish and chips in Ashfield, fried fresh
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. Whether it is lunch clubs and friday fish and chip treats, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Ashfield, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Away from emergency access
- A level parking spot near the entrance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
A chip van compared with other options
For a treat residents will talk about, a chip van visit is hard to beat in Ashfield. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Other occasions in Ashfield
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your care home visit. December visits in Ashfield are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
