Other occasions in Fir Toll
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
