Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Questions from Ashton Green
How far is Ashton Green from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Is Ashton Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
