Fish and chip van for events for your event in Nutley

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Winter fairs in Nutley are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
