Book the van in Red Post Bridge
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
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.
How our party fish and chip van works in Red Post Bridge
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the hatch facing your guests. We’re often asked to cater retirement parties and anniversary celebrations, with curry sauce, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Near Red Post Bridge, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
