Party fish and chip van in West Ashling, fried fresh
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Typical bookings include big birthdays and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In a small place like West Ashling, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Occasions we serve in West Ashling
With a van, the host gets to enjoy the party. And it’s fun.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. In West Ashling, people book us for events such as:
- Family parties with children
- Family reunions
- Leaving parties
- Street parties and neighbourhood events
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether VAT is included
- How much space the van takes up
- Whether there’s a minimum
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.

West Ashling: your questions answered
How far is West Ashling from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
