Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Ashampstead Green
What’s the nearest station to Ashampstead Green?
Goring & Streatley station, about 3.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Clement?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Ashampstead Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Ashampstead Green is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
