About our party fish and chip van in Hartley Mauditt
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. Whether it is anniversaries and engagement parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, we can cook haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Country parties near Hartley Mauditt suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
