Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Aston Abbotts
Is Aston Abbotts too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van come to Aston Abbotts?
We do. Aston Abbotts is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

- Plan portion sizes with us
- Plan it with your catering manager
