How our fish and chip van hire works in Tangley
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Typical bookings include weddings, especially the evening and gatherings after a funeral, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy.
In a rural place like Tangley, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
