Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A clear quote before booking
- A menu almost everyone likes
Read our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
