A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
