Fish and chip van hire for Wingham events
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.
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.
Fish and chip van hire in Wingham, cooked to order
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for birthday celebrations and gatherings after a funeral.
Somewhere like Wingham, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
A chip van compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
