Why choose a fish and chip van in Newpound Common?

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Why Newpound Common hosts choose us

For staff thank-you lunches and summer staff parties, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.

Guests gathered at a busy evening work event

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Food your guests will love

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

What affects the price in Newpound Common

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • How long we serve
  • How far we travel
  • Access and parking
  • The date and time of year

The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Details that help

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Where the event is
  • Expected numbers

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Choosing a fish and chip van

How it works

We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In Newpound Common, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. We start with a few details about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Billingshurst station, about 2.1 miles south-east of the centre.

Can you serve each shift?

Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.

Planning for dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Flag any coeliac staff

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

  • 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
