Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
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.
Occasions we serve in North Ascot
You do not need a venue: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.

North Ascot questions
Can you serve after a service at Chapel of St Mary and St John?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to North Ascot?
The closest is Ascot station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, typically. Tell us how many children to expect.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Midsummer parties in North Ascot stay bright until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Planning a party in North Ascot
North Ascot is about 3 miles east of Bracknell, in Windsor and Maidenhead. People in North Ascot book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. North Ascot is one of 57 places in Windsor and Maidenhead where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 12 miles away.
A christening at Chapel of St Mary and St John followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. For party guests on the train, Ascot station, about 1 mile south-east, is the nearest station.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
