Common questions in Norwood Hill
Is Norwood Hill close to London?
About 23 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How do you charge at fêtes?
Tell us how your event normally works with traders, and we will find something that works.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options before booking.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event. For an evening event in Norwood Hill, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
