Why choose a fish and chip van in Cookham Dean?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
