Why choose a fish and chip van in Mapledurwell?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- We cover Mapledurwell and the whole of Hampshire
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
