A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. By late September, sunset in Three Ashes is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
