Fish and chip van for events in Trolliloes, cooked to order
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. Typical bookings include community festivals and club open days, serving chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Near Trolliloes, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
For a stall visitors will queue for, a fish and chip van is a great choice. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Summer events in Trolliloes have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the space and the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Information about power and water
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch

Trolliloes questions
How far is Trolliloes from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Trolliloes 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.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do festivals?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
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.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree who removes waste
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
