How our fish and chip van for events works in Filchampstead
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and country shows.
At a fête or show near Filchampstead, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
