Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Party fish and chip van in Ashmansworth, fried fresh
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We’re often asked to cater big birthdays and naming days and christenings, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A country party near Ashmansworth is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What happens on the day
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Ashmansworth drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
