Normans' Bay questions
How far is Normans' Bay from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Normans' Bay?
Normans Bay station, in Normans' Bay itself.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In summer, Normans' Bay has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
