A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Mention allergies you know about
- Check the hall has an urn
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
For somewhere as remote as Norton Green, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
