About our party fish and chip van in Boxgrove
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. For street parties and neighbourhood events and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy for your guests.
In a small place like Boxgrove, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
