Fish and chip van hire in Farleigh Green
The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Evenings in Farleigh Green stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
