Party fish and chip van for your party in Horam
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for anniversary celebrations and family reunions.
In a small place like Horam, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email

Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, it is light in Horam until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the serving time

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Horam: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Horam?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Horam?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
