Titchfield questions
How far is Titchfield from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Titchfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
