DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for Norlington

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime staff treats in Norlington are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
