Choosing a fish and chip van

Corporate fish and chip catering in Ashington, fried fresh

The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater team away days and fish Friday treats.

At country workplaces around Ashington, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Ashington, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the 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. We leave the spot as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Food your guests will love

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Ashington?

Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

Why book with us

  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Classic food your staff already know
  • We cover Ashington and the whole of West Sussex

Read how we price and our guide to van hire costs.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

FAQs for Ashington

Do you come out to small places like Ashington?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How far is Ashington from London?

Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.

Can the van park on grass?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Do you have documents for our site?

Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.

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

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

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Do you take everything away?

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Planners, venues and businesses

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Planning the van’s spot

Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • A spot near your staff
  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and planning

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Consider a pre-order list
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Ask facilities about access

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
