About our corporate fish and chip catering in Ashley Heath

For businesses around Ashley Heath, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Ashley Heath: your questions answered
Can the van park in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
