About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Questions from Townhill Park
How far is Townhill Park from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve near the sea around Townhill Park?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Southampton. See all areas.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Where does the van go on location?
Usually, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Light in Townhill Park lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Level, firm ground at base
- A clear route to base
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas

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 shoot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
