About our fish and chip van hire in East Langdon
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around East Langdon. For company team days and village fêtes and school fairs, we will put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
In a small place like East Langdon, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
