About our fish and chip van hire in Bramling
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Whether it is visits to care homes and day centres and garden get-togethers, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Bramling, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
