Before you choose a spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

From the hatch

  • Haddock and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips

Food your guests will love

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

For event organisers in Ashampstead Green

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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’s crisp.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Ashampstead Green: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Ashampstead Green?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Is the fish gluten-free?

No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

Can the van park on grass?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

A chip van compared with other options

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Why us?

  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • A van that becomes part of the event

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Give us break and shift times
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers

For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.

Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.

How it works

When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Ashampstead Green is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
