Fish and chip van for events in Lynsore Bottom, fried fresh

Rural events near Lynsore Bottom can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
