How our party fish and chip van works in Norton
You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. For retirement parties and big birthdays, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Norton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
