Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Display allergens for each stall
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us about the pitch
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
About our fish and chip van for events in Toothill
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. We are frequently asked to cater music and food festivals and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Toothill, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Toothill
Is Toothill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Toothill close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
