The Travelling Friar

The Travelling Friar Established since 1987 we are an independent family run mobile Fish & Chip van. Check our page to see our location and operating times.

Established since 1987

We are a family run mobile Fish & Chips service and we make extremely good Fish & Chips. All the fish is filleted so there are no bones & cooked to order so it's extremely fresh for you to enjoy. From birthday parties to weddings, we can cater for an array of functions. We come directly to you and prepare truly scrumptious fish & chips. We take the stress out of your catering needs so you can sit back, relax and enjoy yourself. We promise you won't be disappointed, our prices are very competitive and our fish and chips are the ultimate talk of the party. Message us today for a quote and we will get right back to you.
