About our party fish and chip van in Sandhills
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing, which is what a party is all about. For reunions and family get-togethers and retirement celebrations, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
Country parties near Sandhills suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
