Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Newnham Murren
Do you come out to small places like Newnham Murren?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Newnham Murren?
Cholsey station, about 2.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
What affects the price in Newnham Murren
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
