Book the van in Broadbridge Heath
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Broadbridge Heath
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. We’re frequently asked to cater horse and dog shows and fish and chip supper nights, serving chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Broadbridge Heath are made for a chip van. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
