The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Fish and chip van hire in Horn Park, cooked to order
There’s something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We are frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and care home visits, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Streets in Horn Park are frequently tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evenings in Horn Park stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
