Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Share the shift pattern
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Ashford Hill, cooked to order
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and friday lunch treats.
At country workplaces around Ashford Hill, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time

FAQs for Ashford Hill
How far is Ashford Hill from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Ashford Hill?
Midgham station, about 3 miles north of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water?
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 is worth asking.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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’ll confirm what we can provide.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
