Fresh fish and chips in Horns Green
How our fish and chip van hire works in Horns Green
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. That’s why a van works for so many kinds of event. Popular choices include cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater birthday celebrations and work Christmas parties.
In a rural place like Horns Green, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 nobody has to miss the event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What a fish and chip van costs

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers

Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Questions from Horns Green
Is Horns Green 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.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.

Yes, we do. We serve events in Horns Green and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you need power or water?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
