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. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Parking and the way in
  • Service time
  • Whether a minimum applies

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The venue or postcode
  • Your date and serving time
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Ashburnham questions

Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Do you come out to small places like Ashburnham?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Ashburnham?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.

Can the van park on grass?

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

How quickly can you serve everyone?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Do you bring everything you need?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Perfect for your staff event in Ashburnham

It’s hot food on site, whatever the weather, because the cooking is inside the van.

Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:

  • Summer staff parties
  • Charity and fundraising days at work
  • Open days and customer events
  • Warehouse, depot and site teams

Central London is about 46 miles from Ashburnham.

  • The minimum number of meals or minimum spend

How to compare vans

Why choose a fish and chip van in Ashburnham?

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

What you get with us

  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Food your guests will love

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.

Before you choose a spot

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What we serve

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

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Consider a pre-order list
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat

We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Lunchtime bookings in Ashburnham are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Give us a contact for the day

Getting a price

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
