How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Norham Manor
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and summer staff parties, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Work events near Norham Manor might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What affects the price in Norham Manor
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van

What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. After-work summer events in Norham Manor have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Consider a pre-order list
- Send round an allergy question
- Give us break and shift times
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Norham Manor.
How fast is service?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
