How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Horton: your questions answered
Is Horton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
