Party fish and chip van for Newtown events
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Party fish and chip van in Newtown, fried fresh
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. We’re frequently asked to cater kids’ birthday parties and anniversary celebrations, with curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas.
For a party in Newtown, home is often the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will do the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

Planning a party in Newtown
Newtown is about 1 mile south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN24, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to 922 places across Kent. Our bookings stretch from Newtown to Canterbury (14 miles away).
If the day starts at Christ Church, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. A green space like Ashford Green Corridors is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Newtown, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
This part of Kent takes in TN24 and TN23. Streets in the area include Bath Road, Mead Road and Royds Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Other places close to Newtown we cover include South Willesborough (1 mile north-east), Park Farm (1 mile south-west), Willesborough (1 mile north-east), Ashford (1 mile north-west) and Finberry (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (14 miles north-east), Folkestone (13 miles east), Faversham (13 miles north), Hythe (10 miles south-east), Davington (13 miles north) and Preston (12 miles north).
A little further out are Ashford Designer Outlet (0.5 miles north) and William Harvey Hospital (1.7 miles north-east). The countryside around Newtown includes Hatch Park.
- Schools near Newtown include The North School (1.1 miles north)
- Local pubs include The Albion Inn (0.5 miles north-east)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Show us where the van would go
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Mention the van to neighbours
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Finish with the birthday cake.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Autumn and winter parties in Newtown get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or TN24 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
