Fresh fish and chips in Horton
About our wedding fish and chip van in Horton
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. For pre-wedding get-togethers and laid-back receptions, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Horton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Planning wedding fish and chips in Horton
Horton is about 3 miles north of Egham, in Slough. We take a fish and chip van for your wedding to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Horton. Horton is one of 31 towns and villages in Slough we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 16 miles away.
For outdoor photos, Staines Reservoirs is close by. Within reach of Horton are historic houses such as Frogmore House (2.5 miles west) and Windsor Castle (3 miles west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and vehicles.
Anywhere in SL3 and TW19, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your wedding could be at a house on Stanwell Road, Bells Lane and Foundry Lane, as long as there is somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to weddings in Brands Hill (1 mile north), Colnbrook (1 mile north-east), Sunnymeads (1 mile west), Poyle (1 mile north-east) and Wraysbury (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Slough (4 miles north-west), Cippenham (5 miles north-west), Chalvey (4 miles north-west), Britwell (6 miles north-west), Upton (3 miles north-west) and Burnham (7 miles north-west).

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Winter weddings in Horton are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Horton
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Horton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; 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 contact us early.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What affects the price in Horton
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
