About fish and chip van hire in SW11
There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Typical bookings include care home visits and gatherings after a funeral, with pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Cost
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
