About our fish and chip van hire in Little Horsted
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We are frequently asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and summer garden parties, with pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In a small place like Little Horsted, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Common questions in Little Horsted
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Little Horsted?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cover Little Horsted?
We do. Little Horsted is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Little Horsted?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
