Questions from Durford Wood
How far is Durford Wood from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Yes, we do. We serve events in Durford Wood and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
