What affects the price in New Town
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

New Town: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is New Town close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you come onto our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In New Town, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
