Party fish and chip van for Over Norton events
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Over Norton, a June party has light until about 9:30pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Questions from Over Norton
Can you serve after a service at St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Over Norton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to a street party?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
