Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How our party fish and chip van works in Kilnwood Vale
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. For garden get-togethers and leaving parties, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Kilnwood Vale, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
