How our fish and chip van for events works in Durfold Wood
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We’re frequently asked to cater sports club events and race days and horse and dog shows, with haddock and chips, chips and cod and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Durfold Wood, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Summer events in Durfold Wood have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
