Fish and chip van hire in Riseley, cooked to order
There is something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We are frequently asked to cater care home visits and staff thank-you lunches, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Riseley, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
