Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Ashampstead

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Ashampstead close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.

Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
