Why choose a fish and chip van in Overton?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Take a look at our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
