How our fish and chip van hire works in Newton Valence
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for work Christmas parties and weddings and evening receptions.
For a rural spot like Newton Valence, the setting does a lot of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Around midsummer it stays light in Newton Valence until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.

Preparing for the day

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
