Fresh fish and chips in Newnham
Corporate fish and chip catering in Newnham, cooked to order
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For open days and customer events and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Newnham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. After-work summer events in Newnham have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us a contact for the day

What else we do in Newnham
Should I sort the food myself?
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.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why Newnham hosts choose us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
