A chip van compared with other options
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book our van in Hatch Warren

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
