How our fish and chip van for events works in Durrants
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for feeding event crew and church fêtes.
For a village fête or field event near Durrants, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
