Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Choosing a fish and chip van

For event organisers in Newtimber

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Planning for dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Give us break and shift times
  • Send allergies to us in writing

Send a message round when the van opens.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Newtimber: your questions answered

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

How far is Newtimber from London?

Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Do we need to provide equipment?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

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.

What will facilities need from you?

Send us your site’s list, and we will confirm what we can provide.

How long will the queue be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.

Do you work around shifts?

Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.

Prices and what affects them

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • The length of service
  • How far we travel
  • The date and time of year
  • Your choice of menu

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Getting an accurate quote

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

What happens on the day

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your staff can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In Newtimber, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
