Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Company team days

- Fish and chip days at care homes

Fish and chip van hire in Waterend, cooked to order
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. Whether it’s weddings and evening receptions and fish and chip days at care homes, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips for your guests.
For a rural spot like Waterend, the setting does plenty of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
