How our fish and chip van hire works in New Haw
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Whether it’s milestone birthday parties and wakes and celebrations of life, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Around New Haw, bookings are often at homes, local halls and clubs. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Where the van can park in New Haw

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
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.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from New Haw
Is New Haw close to London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
