How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. After-work summer events in Ashurst Wood have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

What areas do you cover?

How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A clear quote before you book
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Planning for dietary needs

- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Put bins near the hatch.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
For event organisers in Ashurst Wood
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
