Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Horton-cum-Studley
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Barnabas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Horton-cum-Studley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is

By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
