Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Ashton Green
How far is Ashton Green from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Ashton Green?
Glynde station, about 2.1 miles south of the centre.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
