New Barn questions
Which station is closest to New Barn?
The closest is Longfield station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How far is New Barn from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can the van come to New Barn?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including New Barn and the rest of Kent. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How the day works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Lunchtime staff treats in New Barn are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
