Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Common questions in Over Norton
We’re gathering after a service at St James: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Over Norton close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cover Over Norton?
We do. Over Norton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Over Norton?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Bringing the van to Over Norton
Over Norton is about 11 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Wherever your event is in the OX7 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. Over Norton is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Over Norton to Oxford (19 miles away).
If you are gathering after a service at a church like St James, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. PTAs at schools such as Holy Trinity Catholic School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.

Local streets include Main Street, Choicehill Road and Quarhill Close; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
