How our fish and chip van hire works in Ludgershall
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Whether it is milestone birthday parties and village fêtes and school fairs, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
A place like Ludgershall often has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it is crisp when it’s handed over. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
