Party fish and chip van in Fernhill, fried fresh
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Popular choices include mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for children’s parties and reunions and family get-togethers.
Near Fernhill, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
