Book the van in Horsell
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How our party fish and chip van works in Horsell
There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for leaving parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
For a party in Horsell, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will do the rest. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know

- The date and when you’d like to eat

How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Horsell, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van

FAQs for Horsell
Can the van park in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
