Fresh fish and chips in Horsmonden
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Horsmonden
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. For garden parties and summer get-togethers and visits to care homes and day centres, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Horsmonden, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
