Ashurst questions
Which station is closest to Ashurst?
Ashurst Kent station, in Ashurst itself.

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.

Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. December in Ashurst means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Keep the queue dry
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
Send us the date, the address or TN3 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Ashurst in December: what to know
Ashurst is about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Ashurst is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We take the van to 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 24 miles away.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Martin of Tours can book the van as a hot-food stall. Ashurst is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Wherever your Christmas party is in TN3, we can fry fresh for your guests. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Ashurst Road, Clayton's Lane and Ashurst Hill or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Stone Cross (1 mile east), Teasley Mead (1 mile north-west), Fordcombe (1 mile north-east), Walter's Green (1 mile north) and Groombridge (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Sevenoaks (11 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (5 miles east), Tonbridge (7 miles north-east), Kings Hill (15 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (11 miles east) and Southborough (5 miles north-east).
A little further out are Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital (4.4 miles east) and Bolebroke Castle (2.4 miles west). Open spaces near Ashurst include Broadwater Warren RSPB Reserve.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Ashurst?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
