Fish and chip van hire for your event in Northbourne
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Popular choices include pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for big birthdays and company team days.
Somewhere as small as Northbourne, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

It’s familiar, so nobody has to guess what they’re getting.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
