Common questions in Newchurch
How far is Newchurch from London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Is Newchurch too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask facilities about access
- Give us break and shift times
Put bins near the hatch.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
A chip van compared with other options
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A clear quote before you book
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For an end-of-day event in Newchurch, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it is about 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.

- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
