Book the van in Hale Street
Takeaway run or book a van?
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’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Fish and chip van hire in Hale Street, fried fresh
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. We’re often asked to cater festive get-togethers and visits to care homes and day centres, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
In a hamlet or village like Hale Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Put allergy details in writing
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
