Common questions in Norton
Do you come out to small places like Norton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van come to Norton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Norton is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What affects the price in Norton
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
About the food
