Fish and chip van hire in Peasmarsh, cooked to order

In a hamlet or village like Peasmarsh, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
