You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

FAQs for Hook Norton
Is Hook Norton close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
