Hornton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Hornton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Hornton close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Tell us about the pitch
- Display allergens for each stall
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. December events in Hornton lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 9:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
