Newtimber questions
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Newtimber?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Long summer days in Newtimber, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send final numbers the day before
- Agree how the base is left
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
