Fish and chip van for events in Wildhern, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so nothing sits waiting. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater crew and volunteer catering and summer fairs.
Near Wildhern, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in

- The date and when you’d like to eat
