Corporate fish and chip catering for Newport events
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Summer events after work in Newport have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- 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
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Ask for a quote

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Newport
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and workplace fundraising days, with pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For businesses in Newport, a Friday lunch in the car park is an easy win, if the site agrees. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
Newport is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Share the shift pattern
- Have a back-up for special diets
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head normally 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.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the space and the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Questions from Newport
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
