About the food

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Church Norton questions
Is Church Norton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Church Norton from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to Church Norton?
Yes, we do. Church Norton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Ask about smaller portions
We set up before the mealtime.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
For planners, venues and organisers
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 larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Garden visits in Church Norton work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
