Teddy's Fish & Chips Defender
Teddy's Fish & Chips' converted Land Rover Defender 130, FG11 GDV: a British racing green single-cab with a square catering box body, serving hatch and lift-up awning, from which the Bournemouth family firm cooks and serves traditional fish and chips at events — up to 100 portions an hour — having worked Trafalgar Square, the Chelsea Flower Show and the Southbank Centre winter market.
History
Teddy's Fish & Chips is a Bournemouth family business that takes traditional fish and chips to weddings, festivals and corporate events in a converted Land Rover Defender. The vehicle, a 2011 Defender 130 single-cab pickup registered FG11 GDV, carries an aluminium-edged catering box body on its load bed with fryers and a serving counter inside, a large hatch on the nearside whose awning flap lifts to shelter the customers, an opening top cupboard on the offside, and TEDDY'S lettering on the doors with Trustpilot and contact details on the body. The firm says it can cook up to 100 portions an hour from the van and has served at Trafalgar Square, the Chelsea Flower Show and the Southbank Centre winter market; it is listed for hire through Togather.
The registry's model is the Defender 130 single cab in green with the box body, edge trim, hatch, awning, counter, cupboard flap, lettering and plates from the photograph.
