Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the parking spot

How it works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A summer party in Norton stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Norton questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Norton parties: what to know
Norton is about 2 miles east of Newhaven, in East Sussex. People in Norton 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 is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Norton to Brighton (10 miles away).
Historic houses near Norton include Alfriston Clergy House (3.2 miles east) and Firle Place (3.3 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. A green space like Castle Hill is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. The South Downs National Park is within about 4 miles of Norton, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, a fish and chip van feels like a trip to the seaside.
We serve parties across the BN25 postcode area. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Bishopstone (1 mile south), Tide Mills (1 mile south-west), Denton (1 mile west), South Heighton (1 mile north-west) and Newhaven (2 miles west). Further out, we also take the van to Eastbourne (9 miles east), Lewes (7 miles north-west), Hailsham (9 miles north-east), Uckfield (12 miles north), Peacehaven (3 miles west) and Telscombe (4 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Newhaven Museum (1.4 miles west) and Arlington Castle (3.8 miles east). The countryside around Norton includes Firle Beacon.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Norton?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
