About our party fish and chip van in Danehill
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We’re often asked to cater christenings and naming days and leaving parties, with sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
Near Danehill, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food
Cod and chips

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
