Rural locations near Newyears Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Newyears Green
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Room for the crew to queue
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for crew to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Share the base location and route
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
FAQs for Newyears Green
Could you trade in Church Field Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Newyears Green close to London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Newyears Green?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

We do. Newyears Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
