Fresh fish and chips in West Bedfont
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Fish and chip van hire in West Bedfont, fried fresh
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for care home visits and milestone birthday parties.
Somewhere as small as West Bedfont, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
