A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Autumn and winter parties in New Haw get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.

New Haw: your questions answered
Is New Haw close to London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to New Haw?
Byfleet & New Haw station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
