A chip van near Titchfield
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Fish and chip van for events in Titchfield, cooked to order
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for school fairs and sports days and crew and volunteer catering.
Near Titchfield, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Bookings across Hampshire, including Titchfield
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.

Titchfield events: pitches and permissions
Titchfield is about 2 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the PO14 area, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 8 miles away.
School fairs, for a school like Titchfield Primary School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. A summer fête at Church of St Peter is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. With the sea within about 4 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and fish and chips sells well by the sea.
Events anywhere in PO14 and PO15 start with a parking spot for the van. From High Street, Sandy Lane and Garstons Close or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve events in Catisfield (1 mile east), Little Posbrook (1 mile south), Titchfield Park (1 mile north), Heathfield (1 mile east) and Titchfield Common (1 mile west). Further out, we also take the van to Winchester (15 miles north), Gosport (5 miles south-east), Havant (11 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north-west), Horndean (11 miles north-east) and Totton (13 miles north-west).
A little further out are St Andrew's Castle (3.5 miles west) and Fareham Shopping Centre (2.7 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Holly Hill Woodland Park.
- Local schools include The Henry Cort Community College (1.2 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include West End House (under half a mile north-east)
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Titchfield

How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an evening event in Titchfield, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
