Common questions in Church Norton
Can you serve near the sea around Church Norton?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Church Norton?
Bognor Regis station, about 4.9 miles north-east of the centre.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Can the van come to Church Norton?
We do. Church Norton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. For a summer wedding in Church Norton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Ensure the van can get in
