What else we do in Ludgershall
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
