Party fish and chip van in Church Whitfield, fried fresh
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We serve pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for engagement parties and christenings and naming days.
In a small place like Church Whitfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Show us where the van would go
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
