Questions from Aston
Do you come out to small places like Aston?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you trade at school fairs around Aston?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How do you charge at fêtes?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll agree terms.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Step by step
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter fairs in Aston are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Aston? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
