Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask facilities about access
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Send round an allergy question
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Trolliloes is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 20 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Horselunges Manor (3.7 miles south-west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 7 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
Here we cover the BN27 postcode area, so your staff event can be anywhere in it.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Trolliloes: your questions answered
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Trolliloes 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.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the van come to Trolliloes?
Yes, we do. Trolliloes is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. A lunch-break van visit in Trolliloes is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or BN27 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
