Common questions in Newington
Is Newington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Can the van come to Newington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Newington and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Light near the van if needed
- The location’s agreement
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
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 a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter shoots near Newington chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
