Fish and chip van hire in Martyr's Green, fried fresh
There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and community events and fairs.
Somewhere as small as Martyr's Green, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Perfect for your event in Martyr's Green
