Fish and chip van hire for your event in Duns Tew
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for wakes and gatherings after a funeral and festive get-togethers.
In a hamlet or village like Duns Tew, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
