The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Winter fairs in Norbiton are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

Questions from Norbiton
Can you come to a school fair in Norbiton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What about parking in Norbiton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Norbiton?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
