Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let your neighbours know
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Make sure the van can park legally
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

In Aston, a June party has light until about 9:30pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
FAQs for Aston
How far is Aston from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
