Fresh fish and chips in Newtown
Corporate fish and chip catering in Newtown, fried fresh
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it’s familiar and filling. Typical bookings include warehouse, depot and site teams and open days and customer events, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Newtown can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
