FAQs for Three Ashes
What’s the nearest station to Three Ashes?
The closest is Bramley (Hants) station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
How far is Three Ashes from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In December, it’s dark in Three Ashes by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
