Fish and chip van for events for Newchurch events
Fish and chip van for events in Newchurch, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. We’re frequently asked to cater country shows and sports tournaments, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
At a field event near Newchurch, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Agree the terms in writing
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
