How our fish and chip van for events works in Horn Hill
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and chips, and we’re frequently booked for sports days and festivals.
Rural events near Horn Hill can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Horn Hill questions
What’s the nearest station to Horn Hill?
The closest is Chorleywood station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can you come to a school fair in Horn Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer events in Horn Hill have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
