Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
