FAQs for Church Norton
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Church Norton?
Bognor Regis station, about 4.9 miles north-east of the centre.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Plan bins near the queue
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Fewer choices mean faster service
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
