Fresh fish and chips in Asheridge
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Common questions in Asheridge
What’s the nearest station to Asheridge?
Great Missenden station, about 3.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Asheridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is usually wise. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
