FAQs for Titchfield Common
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Titchfield Common?
The closest is Swanwick station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot; we’ll check access.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Fit the visit around routines

Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
