A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Newchapel
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. Typical bookings include family Christmas get-togethers and festive open days, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Newchapel, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Planning a Christmas party in Newchapel
Newchapel is about 3 miles north-west of East Grinstead, in Surrey. For Christmas parties in Newchapel, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Newchapel. We serve 395 places across Surrey. We serve events right across the region, from Newchapel to London (about 23 miles away).
If people are coming by rail, the nearest station is Dormans station, about 2 miles east. Newchapel is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Anywhere in RH7, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Wembury Park, Eastbourne Road and Wire Mill Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For Christmas parties just outside Newchapel, we cover Felcourt (1 mile east), Felbridge (2 miles south), Furnace Wood (2 miles south-west), Domewood (2 miles south-west) and Lingfield (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Epsom (15 miles north-west), Horley (5 miles west), Redhill (7 miles north-west), Reigate (8 miles north-west), Caterham (9 miles north) and Dorking (13 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Effingham Park Motor Museum (2.3 miles south-west) and Queen Victoria Hospital (2.9 miles south-east). The countryside around Newchapel includes Hedgecourt Lake.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Newchapel: your questions answered
Is Newchapel too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we eat?
Food early on is normally wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van can be better value. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why us?
- Something for guests to gather round
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No surprises in your quote
Read our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Newchapel; light the path to the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
