Party fish and chip van in Ashley Heath, cooked to order
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Whether it’s retirement celebrations and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy for your guests.
For a party in Ashley Heath, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll bring everything else. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.

Common questions in Ashley Heath
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van come to Ashley Heath?
Yes, we do. Ashley Heath is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

- Hot food handed straight over
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Classic food your guests already know
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
What happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party. Sunset in Ashley Heath drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:05pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
