Why choose a fish and chip van in Botolph Claydon?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Everything cooked to order at your event

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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.
