How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- Staff lunches

Why choose a fish and chip van in Ashley?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Ashley questions
Do you come out to small places like Ashley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Ashley from London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you come to Ashley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Ashley is within our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, use our quote form.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Where will the van go on our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Lunchtime bookings in Ashley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Ask for a quote
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. You can use our quote form.
