Planning an event in Lickfold?
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Lickfold
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for vow renewal parties and marquee and garden weddings.
Near Lickfold, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
