Common questions in Norton Green
Which station is closest to Norton Green?
Lymington Pier station, about 4.5 miles north of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Light matters for evening service: around Norton Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Bringing the van to Norton Green
Norton Green is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. People in Norton Green book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Norton Green is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Mottistone Manor (4.9 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Norton Green is within about 2 miles of the sea, so fish and chips feels right at home here. On windy days, we plan a sheltered side for the queue.

Planning the van’s spot

- Lighting nearby for evening events
For somewhere as remote as Norton Green, early notice helps us plan the trip.
