Fish and chip van hire in Ashurst, cooked to order
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Popular choices include mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden get-togethers and company team days.
Somewhere like Ashurst, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Evenings in Ashurst stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come to Ashurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Ashurst is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ashurst.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
