Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Perfect for your event in Lower Horsebridge
It needs no kitchen, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where other catering struggles.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Wakes and celebrations of life
- Festive get-togethers

Churches such as Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by usually does.

- Whether travel is included
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Lower Horsebridge, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

- Give us separate numbers for children
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
