Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.

Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Broughton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your care home visit. For a summer visit in Broughton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
