Book the van in Newtimber
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. An afternoon Christmas party in Newtimber can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Near Newtimber, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
