The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Whether it is care home visits and milestone birthday parties, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Somewhere as small as Horam, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

What else we do in Horam
Horam: your questions answered
Is Horam too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can the van come to Horam?
Yes, we do. Horam is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Bringing the van to Horam
Horam is about 5 miles north of Hailsham, in East Sussex. We cover Horam as standard, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Horam is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Horam to Brighton (about 18 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Horam are Horselunges Manor (3.2 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Maynards Green Community Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Horam is within about 7 miles of the High Weald National Landscape.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Horam?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
