Fresh fish and chips in Newbury Park
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Fish and chip van for events in Newbury Park, cooked to order
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. For agricultural and country shows and crew and volunteer catering, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
London street parties and fairs in Newbury Park need careful planning around road closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. December events in Newbury Park lose the light at about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Running an event in Newbury Park
Newbury Park is about 3 miles north of Barking, in Greater London. In and around Newbury Park, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Newbury Park to London (about 9 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Newbury Park Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. For visitors coming by rail, Seven Kings station, about 1 mile south-east, is the nearest station.
For events in IG2, IG6 and IG3, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. That could mean an event at a home on Lynn Road, Bute Road and Duke Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Newbury Park sits on or near the A12, so getting the van to your event is simple. For events just outside Newbury Park, we cover Gants Hill (1 mile west), Barkingside (1 mile north), Seven Kings (1 mile south-east), Ilford (1 mile south) and Cranbrook (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (9 miles south-west), City of Westminster (11 miles south-west), Marylebone (11 miles west), Kensington (13 miles south-west), St Pancras (9 miles west) and Shoreditch (8 miles south-west).

- Local schools include Oaks Park High School (under half a mile north-east)
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cover Newbury Park and the whole of Greater London

Newbury Park questions
Can you come to a school fair in Newbury Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is parking a problem for the van in Newbury Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not 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.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Newbury Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Tell us about the pitch
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
