DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Party fish and chip van in Faversham, cooked to order
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For family celebrations after a christening and anniversaries and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and gravy and more.
In a town like Faversham, a garden party with the van on the drive is the classic choice, and a hall or club works if the drive is small. We just need a level spot. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
