Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
