A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A clear quote before you book
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Classic food your residents already know
