A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote
- All the chip-shop extras
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
