Fish and chip van for events for Creekmouth events
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Creekmouth
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. Typical bookings include sports days and horse and dog shows, with curry sauce, cod and chips and chips.
In Creekmouth, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers generally need council permission for public spaces, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
