Party fish and chip van for your party in Ashendon
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Popular choices include curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for naming days and christenings and engagement parties.
In a small place like Ashendon, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What else we do in Ashendon
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
How the day works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Ashendon drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Parties in Ashendon: homes, halls and local tips
Ashendon is about 5 miles north of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Ashendon is well within our area, so your party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Ashendon is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Ashendon to Oxford (12 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 3.9 miles south-east of the centre. Historic houses near Ashendon include Waddesdon Manor (2.3 miles north-east) and Boarstall Tower (5 miles west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Ashendon: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Ashendon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Ashendon close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you park at our house?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
