About our fish and chip van hire in Chithurst
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Chithurst. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a funeral and weddings and evening receptions.
For a rural spot like Chithurst, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
