Fresh fish and chips in Three Ashes
Corporate fish and chip catering in Three Ashes, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Typical bookings include workplace fundraising days and open days, with pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Three Ashes, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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’s fried on the spot.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
