Fish and chip van hire in Newchurch, cooked to order
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. For visits to care homes and day centres and staff lunches and team days, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Somewhere as small as Newchurch, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Newchurch: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Newchurch?
Sandown station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you come to Newchurch?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Newchurch is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Newchurch, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Newchurch hosts choose us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cover Newchurch and the whole of the Isle of Wight

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Count children separately
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
