Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Ashurst
Is Ashurst close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Ashurst?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
Do you come to Ashurst?
We do. We serve events in Ashurst and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Book as early as possible for December
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
