Fish and chip van hire in Horseport, fried fresh
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For visits to care homes and day centres and milestone birthday parties, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In a rural place like Horseport, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies by email
- A short menu helps everyone
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put bins and napkins by the van
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

Bringing the van to Horseport

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Horseport
Do you come out to small places like Horseport?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cover Horseport?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Horseport and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
