Popular choices include sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for fish and chip days at care homes and Fêtes, fairs and school events.
In a small place like Newingreen, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

Questions from Newingreen
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Could you trade in Sandling Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you feed a lot of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
