Ashtead questions
Which station is closest to Ashtead?
The closest is Ashtead station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Could you trade in Ashtead Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you come to Ashtead?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Ashtead and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
