How our party fish and chip van works in Horseport
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue. Whether it’s kids’ birthday parties and street parties and neighbourhood events, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Horseport, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
