Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Cowfold?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
