About our fish and chip van hire in Dedworth
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and work Christmas parties, with pie and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
A place like Dedworth frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
