FAQs for Ashley
What’s the nearest station to Ashley?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 5 miles away.
Is Ashley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you park at our house?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is there a kids’ option?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Give us separate numbers for children
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
