How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Dietary needs, with numbers

- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Horn Hill questions
Is Horn Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Horn Hill from London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

We do. We serve events in Horn Hill and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
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.

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- With the serving side away from windows
