Fresh fish and chips in Norwood New Town
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Where the van can park in Norwood New Town
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A clear route onto the pitch
