About our fish and chip van hire in Horn Hill
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and school events and staff thank-you lunches, with gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Somewhere as small as Horn Hill, 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. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
