For event organisers in Penton Hook
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
