Common questions in Titchfield Park
Can you serve near the sea around Titchfield Park?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to Titchfield Park?
The closest is Swanwick station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in

- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
