A chip van near Nash Street
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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’s fried on the spot.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Nash Street
There is no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and family celebrations after a christening.
Country parties near Nash Street suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
