Newenden is about 10 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. Around Newenden, we park wherever there is level, firm ground, close to your staff. Newenden is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Newenden to Canterbury (27 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Great Dixter (1.7 miles south-west) and Smallhythe Place (3.8 miles north-east). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 7 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Newenden, cooked to order
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater open days and customer events and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
Rural businesses around Newenden can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Newenden
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Newenden too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Do you cover Newenden?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Newenden is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Lunchtime staff treats in Newenden are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

- Tell us when you want to eat
