Party fish and chip van for your party in Hartley Wespall

Near Hartley Wespall, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What comes out of the fryer

- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
