About our fish and chip van hire in Asheridge
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and school events and visits to care homes and day centres, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Asheridge, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Plan bins near the queue
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Questions from Asheridge

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

The closest is Great Missenden station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
