Fish and chip van hire in Milebush, cooked to order
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for village fêtes and school fairs and weddings and evening receptions.
Somewhere like Milebush, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Fewer choices mean faster service
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
