A chip van near Trolliloes
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Trolliloes suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue

FAQs for Trolliloes
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Trolliloes close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
