Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Winchfield Hurst? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
