For event organisers in Pachesham Park

Organising a club, school or community event in Pachesham Park? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
