About our wedding fish and chip van in Ashey
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. For seaside-themed weddings and food after the first dance, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
There is something special about a country wedding near Ashey, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

FAQs for Ashey
What’s the nearest station to Ashey?
The closest is Smallbrook Junction station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Ashey?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Organising a club, school or community event in Ashey? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
What affects the price in Ashey
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
For somewhere as remote as Ashey, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At a December wedding in Ashey, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
