Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. For music and food festivals and agricultural and country shows, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Rural events near Bramling can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
