The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. By about 4:00pm in late December, it is dark in Titchfield Park; park the van where there’s good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Is Titchfield Park close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Titchfield Park?
The closest is Swanwick station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
What can guests choose from?
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.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
