A fish and chip van or other catering?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Classic food your guests already know
Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
What affects the price in East Ashling
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.

For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. A summer party in East Ashling stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
