- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Askett
Is Askett too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Askett?
The closest is Monks Risborough station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can the van come to our street party?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
