Food your guests will love

Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
For event organisers in Horn Park
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Horn Park, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

- Milestone birthdays

- The service time, and the cost of running over
- If the price includes VAT

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Horn Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
