Questions from Ashurst Bridge
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve near the sea around Ashurst Bridge?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you come to Ashurst Bridge?
We do. Ashurst Bridge is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Autumn and winter parties in Ashurst Bridge get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
