A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In Horsemere Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

FAQs for Horsemere Green
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Horsemere Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
