How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. December events in Norton Green lose the light at about 4:05pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What else we do in Norton Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What are the terms for events?

- Access and parking

- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
There is 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.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Norton Green is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
