Fresh fish and chips in Normans' Bay

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Normans' Bay

It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Whether it is charity days and leaving dos, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.

Rural businesses around Normans' Bay can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How the day works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer events after work in Normans' Bay have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Give us a contact for the day

Questions from Normans' Bay

What’s the nearest station to Normans' Bay?

Normans' Bay has its own station: Normans Bay station.

Is Normans' Bay close to London?

Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What paperwork do you provide?

Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

Can you invoice the company?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Do you take everything away?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.

How long will the queue be?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Can the van come to our open day?

Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Where will the van go on our site?

That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Sausage and chips

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Planning the van’s spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we serve

  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips
  • Pie and chips

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Corporate buffets are generally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Why book with us

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Something for staff to gather round
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
