About our party fish and chip van in Whitfield
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. For street parties and get-togethers with old friends, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
Around Whitfield, a garden and a drive is all you need. A chip van fits right in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
