Bringing the van to Two Mile Ash

Two Mile Ash is about 1 mile north-east of Whitehouse, in Milton Keynes. Two Mile Ash is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve 73 places across Milton Keynes.

After a service at Church of the Holy Cross, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Two Mile Ash School, can book the van as a food stall.

For events in MK8, MK13 and MK12, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From The High Street, Norbrek and Garston or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. If your venue is just outside Two Mile Ash, we also cover Whitehouse (1 mile south-west), Shenley (2 miles south) and Old Wolverton (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Bletchley (4 miles south-east), Newport Pagnell (4 miles north-east), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (5 miles south-east), Furzton (3 miles south-east), Middleton (4 miles east) and Fenny Stratford (5 miles south-east).

Nearby you’ll also find Milton Keynes University Hospital (2.9 miles east) and Bradwell Motte (0.7 miles north-east). The countryside around Two Mile Ash includes Lodge Lake and Little Linford Wood.

  • Nearby schools include Watling Academy (1.1 miles south-west)
  • Nearby, you’ll find The Kensington pub (less than half a mile south)

About our fish and chip van hire in Two Mile Ash

The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Typical bookings include wakes and celebrations of life and company team days, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

For a place the size of Two Mile Ash, your own drive is often the best spot: no hire fees, and fish and chips for everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

What the van needs

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Two Mile Ash questions

Could you trade in South Loughton Valley park?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.

We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Cross: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Do you have allergen information?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

What happens if it rains?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How long are you on site?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including Milton Keynes. See all areas.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
  • Fewer choices mean faster service

Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Why book our van in Two Mile Ash

  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Classic food your guests already know
  • We cover Two Mile Ash and the whole of Milton Keynes
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

How to compare vans

How the day works

Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Light matters for evening service: around Two Mile Ash, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
