DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Lewson Street?
You don’t need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Retirement celebrations
- Kids’ birthday parties
- Birthday parties
- Neighbourhood get-togethers
If guests are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Teynham station, roughly 1.3 miles north-west of the centre.
