Questions from Durrington
How far is Durrington from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in Durrington?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll check it works.

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter fairs in Durrington are dark by about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
