Evening food keeps the party going, and fish and chips is generous and warming late in the evening. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for engagement parties and coastal-themed receptions.
Rural weddings around Ash have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
What affects the price in Ash
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in

For event organisers in Ash

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

Common questions in Ash
Do you come out to small places like Ash?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you cover Ash?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Ash is within our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No surprises in your quote
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

The process
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a summer wedding in Ash, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
