DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Newpound Common
Is Newpound Common too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Newpound Common?
Billingshurst station, about 2.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What are the terms for events?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
What affects the price in Newpound Common
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
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. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
