About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Common questions in Horsleys Green
Is Horsleys Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we will plan with a little extra.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
