Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and summer garden parties.
A country party near Ashmore Green is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

For event organisers in Ashmore Green
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Ashmore Green
Can you serve after a service at St. Mark's Church?
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.
Which station is closest to Ashmore Green?
The closest is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Perfect for your party in Ashmore Green
You don’t need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Ashmore Green book the van for occasions like:
- Family reunions
- Milestone birthdays
- Christenings and naming days
- Street parties
Nearby historic houses include Shaw House (2 miles west) and Benham Park (4.2 miles west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.
Questions to ask before booking
- The van’s size and access needs
- Whether travel is included
- What the price includes, item by item
- What they can offer for dietary needs
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. A summer party in Ashmore Green stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
