Fish and chip van for events in Bowling Alley, fried fresh
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. For village fêtes and music and food festivals, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A fête near Bowling Alley might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
