- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Who books fish and chip van for events in Horam?

Horam questions
Is Horam close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a stall visitors will queue for, a chip van is hard to beat in Horam. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Horam
- No kitchen needed
- A quote that spells everything out
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.
