Fish and chip van for events in Apuldram, fried fresh
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. On the menu are chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for fundraisers and feeding event crew.
Near Apuldram, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
