About our Christmas party fish and chips in Trolliloes
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. On the menu are mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for PTA Christmas events and lights switch-on events.
In a small place like Trolliloes, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Keep the queue dry
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
Send people out in groups.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in Trolliloes in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

FAQs for Trolliloes
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Trolliloes from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
