How our fish and chip van hire works in Upper Enham
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for community events and fairs and milestone birthday parties.
In a rural place like Upper Enham, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
