What else we do in Newfound
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Where the van can park in Newfound
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A spot near your staff
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Newfound
What’s the nearest station to Newfound?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Is Newfound 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.
Do you come to Newfound?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Newfound is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before you book
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
