Party fish and chip van in North Holmwood, fried fresh
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a party in North Holmwood, home is often the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will bring everything else. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
