Party fish and chip van in Lower Twydall, cooked to order
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. For naming days and christenings and birthday parties, we can cook curry sauce, gravy and haddock and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Lower Twydall, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Something for guests to gather round
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
