Christmas party fish and chips in Broad Street, cooked to order
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. For christmas markets and fairs and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Broad Street, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
