The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Typical bookings include family reunions and summer garden parties, serving pie and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
Around Ash, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
