The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.

Newland Green: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Newland Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What’s the nearest station to Newland Green?
Pluckley station, about 2.1 miles south-east of the centre.
How do you charge at fêtes?
Tell us how your event generally works with traders, and we will find something that works.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you cover Newland Green?
Yes, we do. Newland Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Agree who removes waste
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Share pitch details
- Have other stalls for special diets
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Newland Green?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Something for visitors to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Where the van can park in Newland Green
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
