Fish and chip van hire in Broughton
Fish and chip van hire in Broughton, fried fresh
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. That makes it a safe bet for British events. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and care home visits.
In a hamlet or village like Broughton, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

A fish and chip van in Broughton: local details
Broughton is about 2 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Wherever your event is in the OX15 area, we can bring the van to you. Broughton is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Broughton to Oxford (21 miles away).
Churches such as Church of St Mary the Virgin rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by generally does. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School, can book the van as a food stall.
Here we cover the OX15 postcode area, and we can serve your event anywhere in it.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Broughton?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
