A chip van near Camberley
How our party fish and chip van works in Camberley
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. For garden get-togethers and family celebrations after a christening, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Garden parties are a favourite in Camberley, and a hall or club works if the drive is small. We just need a level spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
