Why choose a fish and chip van in Derringstone?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Organising for someone else?

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
