How our fish and chip van hire works in Badger Farm
There is something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We’re often asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and village fêtes and school fairs, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
There may be a hall or club near Badger Farm if the drive is small; the van can work at any of them, with permission. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
