About our fish and chip van hire in Newington Green
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We are often asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and school events and company team days, serving sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Streets in Newington Green are often tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a photo of the spot. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Around midsummer it stays light in Newington Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
