Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- The number of meals
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
Send us the date, the address or SL3 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Occasions we serve in Horton
No restaurant booking, no taxis, because the van comes to you.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Festive open days
- Work Christmas parties
- Christmas socials for clubs
- Christmas family parties
A winter fair at a school like Colnbrook Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Horton in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand

Questions from Horton
Is Horton close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Is Horton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is usually wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
