DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Who books Christmas party fish and chips in New Pound?
There’s no venue to book or taxis to arrange, because the van comes to you.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Office Christmas parties
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
- Christmas customer days
- End-of-year club parties
If a church like St Lawrence's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

FAQs for New Pound
How far is New Pound from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to New Pound?
Wateringbury station, about 2.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December in New Pound means early darkness: sunset is about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
