Fresh fish and chips in Asheridge
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
About our party fish and chip van in Asheridge
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Popular choices include curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and summer garden parties.
Country parties near Asheridge suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Asheridge questions
Can you serve after a service at St John's Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Sunset in Asheridge is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
