Newnham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Newnham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Newnham close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you come every month?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In Newnham, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:10pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Planning help
For event organisers in Newnham
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us

- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
