Party fish and chip van in Hattingley, cooked to order
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We serve mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater big birthdays and children’s parties.
A country party near Hattingley is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
