Fish and chip van hire in Spring Park, cooked to order
There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We serve cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for visits to care homes and day centres and garden get-togethers.
Streets in Spring Park are often tight, so a drive, yard or car park is usually simplest. Send us a photo of the spot. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
