Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.

Horsham parties: what to know
Horsham is about 31 miles south of London, in West Sussex. We cover Horsham as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Horsham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 17 miles away.
A green space like Warnham Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Hope Chapel, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Horsham is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
This part of West Sussex takes in RH12, RH13, RH20 and BN44, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. Your party could be at a house on Station Road, London Road and Market Square, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Horsham sits on or near the A24 and A29, so getting the van to your party is simple.
