Why choose a fish and chip van in Curdridge?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why book with us

Curdridge questions
Can you come to a school fair in Curdridge?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you come to Curdridge?
Yes, we do. Curdridge is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
