Party fish and chip van for your party in Newnham
It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. On the menu are gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for anniversaries and engagement parties and family reunions.
A country party near Newnham is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Send us the date, the address or ME9 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
A few lights around the van look great.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Newnham hosts choose us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
