About our fish and chip van hire in Throwley
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: open service, or food at a fixed time. We will recommend what fits. For garden get-togethers and weddings and evening receptions, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In a rural place like Throwley, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Throwley until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
