What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
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.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. At midsummer, it’s light in Hornton until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
