About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Whether it is friday lunch treats and open days and customer events, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Ashurst Bridge can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Ashurst Bridge?

What else we do in Ashurst Bridge
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your staff
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
