Why choose a fish and chip van in Aston Tirrold?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why book our van in Aston Tirrold
- Something for visitors to gather round
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No surprises in your quote
- Quick service from the hatch
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Summer events in Aston Tirrold have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
