About our party fish and chip van in Ascot
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Typical bookings include kids’ birthday parties and street parties, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Ascot, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Ascot
Do you come out to small places like Ascot?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Souls?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van come to Ascot?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Ascot and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Other occasions in Ascot
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Occasions we serve in Ascot
There’s no kitchen to clear up afterwards, which makes the morning after much easier.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, it is light in Ascot until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
