DIY versus a fish and chip van

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Organising for someone else?

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

How the day works

Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. After-work summer events in Newington have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Common questions in Newington

Is Newington close to London?

Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.

Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your 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.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

How do you handle allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

What the van needs

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
