Common questions in South Newington
Do you come out to small places like South Newington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is South Newington from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including South Newington.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In South Newington, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 9:00pm and 7:10pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
