Christmas party fish and chips in Knapp, cooked to order

In a small place like Knapp, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
