About our fish and chip van hire in Boarshead
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for staff lunches and team days and gatherings after a funeral.
In a hamlet or village like Boarshead, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
