What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Perfect for your wedding in Wallington
Evening food matters, and a chip van gives guests something hot and generous. It’s a fun moment too.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Weddings in a marquee or garden
- Laid-back receptions
- Barn weddings
- Pre-wedding get-togethers
Portsdown Hill nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
