Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us

- Dietary needs, with numbers

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
What you get with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A van that becomes part of the event

Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
FAQs for Ashley
Do you come out to small places like Ashley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Ashley?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 5 miles away.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Lunchtime bookings in Ashley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
