About our fish and chip van for events in Titchfield Common
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We serve sausage and chips, chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater sports tournaments and sports days.
Events near Titchfield Common are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-sufficient van helps. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Agree the terms in writing
- Share pitch details
- Plan bins near food stalls
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.

What else we do in Titchfield Common
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Titchfield Common questions
How far is Titchfield Common from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Titchfield Common?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How do you charge at fêtes?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Do you do festivals?
Frequently, yes. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before you book.
