Fish and chip van for events for your event in Ashley
When there is hot food, people stay longer. For village fêtes and summer fairs and agricultural and country shows, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and chips for your guests.
At a field event near Ashley, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Fairs, fêtes and events in Ashley
Ashley is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. Events in Ashley are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Ashley is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Ashley to Canterbury (11 miles away).
Running a fête for a church like East Studdal Church Hall? A chip van draws people in. With the sea within about 5 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
We serve events across CT15. Local streets include Chapel Lane, Northdowns Close and Waldershare Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover events in Studdal (1 mile north-east), East Studdal (1 mile north-east), West Langdon (1 mile south-east), Sutton (2 miles east) and Church Whitfield (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Canterbury (11 miles north-west), Margate (14 miles north), Dover (4 miles south), Folkestone (10 miles south-west), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Walmer Castle (4.3 miles east) and Buckland Hospital (4.1 miles south).
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Tell us about the pitch
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. For an evening event in Ashley, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

- Where the event is
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
