A chip van near Furnace Green
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Furnace Green
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. For evening wedding food and fish and chip days at care homes, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In and around Furnace Green, homes and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
