Party fish and chip van for your party in Lathbury
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who does not want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for engagement parties and big birthdays.
In a small place like Lathbury, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
