A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No surprises in your quote
- Hot food handed straight over
