Fish and chip van hire in Berinsfield, cooked to order
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and garden get-togethers, with haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Berinsfield, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
