Fish and chip van for events in Chavey Down, cooked to order
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Typical bookings include church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and community festivals, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Rural events near Chavey Down can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
