A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it is handed over. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
