Party fish and chip van for your party in Mereworth
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, with the right permissions in place. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and christenings and naming days.
In a small place like Mereworth, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
