Newnham for staff days and team lunches
Newnham is about 5 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Tell us where your staff event in Newnham will be, and we will plan access and set-up. Newnham is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Newnham to Reading (about 12 miles away).
Newnham is about 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard. Within reach of Newnham are historic houses such as The Vyne (4.6 miles west) and Stratfield Saye House (4.7 miles north). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.
Staff events anywhere in RG27 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include Tylney Lane, Newnham Lane and Ridge Lane; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Neighbouring places where we serve staff events include Nately Scures (1 mile south), Hook Common (1 mile south-east), Up Nately (1 mile south), Hook (1 mile east) and Warnborough Green (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Basingstoke (5 miles west), Farnborough (10 miles east), Fleet (7 miles east), Aldershot (10 miles east), Alton (9 miles south) and Yateley (8 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Odiham Castle (1.9 miles south-east) and Basing House (2.8 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Dogmersfield Lake and Tundry Hill.

Common questions in Newnham
Is Newnham close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Newnham?
Hook station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Send round an allergy question
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
