Fish and chip van for events in New Haw, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. For crew and volunteer catering and community open days, we can cook chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Summer fairs around New Haw are often run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
