Fish and chip van for events in Kings Worthy
Fish and chip van for events in Kings Worthy, cooked to order
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We serve cod and chips, chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for horse and dog shows and fish and chip supper nights.
Rural events near Kings Worthy can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Kings Worthy? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
