Fish and chip van hire in Nyewood, 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. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for staff lunches and team days and fish and chip days at care homes.
Somewhere as small as Nyewood, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Nyewood questions
How far is Nyewood from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Is Nyewood too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan it with you.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
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.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

What happens on the day
